The ultimate in-car keyboard
 
I've been using a "mini" PS2 keyboard in the car. It's about the same size as a laptop keyboard. Nice, but hard to find a spot to stick it.

After much searching, I finally found the ultimate keyboard for in-car use.

It's small:

And thin:

And easy to store:

Even an on/off switch on the back, so no false keypresses when something lands on top of it.

Bought it here: DealExtreme: $26.22 Super Mini Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard for PC/PDA/Cell Phones (2*AAA)

Only one problem- my tablet PC runs Windows 2000, and apparently that does not support Bluetooth. (At least, not with the dongle I have presently).

What, the messenger keyboard? I have no idea how you'd interface it to a PC. Also, too large, no cursor keys, non-staggered key layout.

I've used the accelerometer from a Wii controller as an in car G meter.

I hit 0.82 on street tires.

The keys are too small. I use this one:
