HTC would have to build a cable that plugs into the USB port and has RGB and USB for the monitor.

Great idea though!
I have seen cables that convert mini usb to standard usb and I have also seen rgb cables with a extra mini usb port on them so the cable part of it should be possible. The only thing I am wondering is does the touch pro support the use of a mouse because if it does I may have found a solution: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/inpu...advantage.html This involves using a .dll file from windows CE. If my research is correct WM is based off of CE. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about any of this. I would try this myself but I don't have a touchscreen and it would be a waste of money for me if this didn't work as I don't have the money to get a separate pc for my car. Hopefully someone with a touchscreen will be brave enough to play around with this.
