If you are only looking for something to do monitoring, then this thing does that. But it also does a lot more. You can choose what you want to monitor, change the night time color to match your other gauges (I like this!), set alerts (EGT, Eng Temp, Trans, etc), view and clear vehicle codes, Performance testing.
Like a monitoring setup.
But it also has all of these other features as well. You can view corrected speed on your truck if you got bigger tires or changed your gearing, this is done through the built-in GPS so you know it is accurate. Productivity (Windows CE desktop, WordPad, all kinds of file viewers, calculator), Entertainment (Pics, Music, Vids, eBook, Games) and the whole thing is upgradeable. Every time they make an improvement, or add features, you can download the update and get the new version. Plus it is a mini computer. So you can download apps made for WinCE and run them on here. For me, I want a lot of games, music and vids. That way when I go somewhere, I can take the iQ out and not sit around bored out of my mind!
With this iQ, I can leave the iPod at home! But that is me, you will obviously have different reasoning for getting one. But I am definitely getting one of these.
