In-dash iPhone OS

Something that I’d really like to see: an in-dash computer that runs the iPhone OS. Basically it would be an iPhone, but running on a larger touchscreen (maybe 6”x4”?). The audio would be piped through the car’s system, calls would behave as if you were on speakerphone, and you could run all your apps on the bigger screen. I’m thinking that apps like Pandora would be a great radio alternative. GPS would obviously be more useful with a bigger screen, particularly if you had turn-by-turn voice instructions. The iPhone’s interface would also be a great way to scroll through iTunes. The camera could be mounted externally somehow, maybe pointing at the driver or at the road ahead.

I suppose the icing on the cake would be a dock system where you just slid your iPhone in and the “iDash” took over.
