This works on my CM5 rooted G1, but it is unusably slow. I am running 0.4 according to some website plus I tried the copy attached to the OP.
MyMobiler for WM6 was smooth and skin-able and worked great. I hope this app develops further.
My goal now is to get rid of my CarPC. It is running Windows 7 now. I was trying to get Android x86 on it, but I realized that as long as I have to connect my phone for internet, I might as well just connect audio to it too and do-away with the entire CarPC all together.
What I need is to be able to plug in my G1 to a PC (running Windows or preferably a tiny Linux bootloader) when I get in the car. Then my 7" touch screen should mimic my phones screen (fast, and preferably re-sampled so the image doesn't look all blocky). Ideally this app would also change the phone to landscape mode and keep the screen alive (or better yet operate the phone and mimic the screen while keeping the actual screen/touch turned-off).
This seems to me as a perfect solution for anyone with an Android phone and a touch-screen in their car. A phone mount is not the same as you need a big screen for safe driving. A CarPC is not the same as it does not have millions of touch-friendly internet enabled apps. Even a CarPC running Android is not the same because you can't configure it and add media to it by pulling it out of your pocket no matter where you are (and you probably couldn't dial phone numbers with it either).
Is there any chance this software will eventually be able to display an HQ YouTube video at full frame rate on the attached PC? If not, then I guess I need a phone with video-out and maybe a copy of this software that doesn't waste speed on video, it would just run full screen and send over the mouse/touch to the phone (Car LCD's will still send the touch-data to the PC, even when switched to a video-input rather than VGA). The current app is too laggy on transferring mouse clicks/drags to even work for that (not dissin' though, great work! Just needs to be faster).
Good gravy man. If you could bring a product to market to do that, I'd have no doubt that it would be quite successful. Heck you could do the same with the iphone. I would buy one for my car in a heartbeat.
