The DMP1 Mobile installs wherever you’d put a car CD changer, and wirelessly loads up to 20GB of music from your PC. The auto sync feature lets it fetch the content you want while it’s in your garage and you’re asleep in bed. You’ll hit the highway every morning fully stocked with enough tunes, news, or audiobooks to turn even the most stressful commute into one big Calgon moment. The USB-equipped removable HDD (20 gigs, remember?) can shuttle data between home and work, including your own copies of a friend’s killer collection of audio files (ask your lawyer first, heh heh). The user interface is exactly the same as the DMS1. And it’s crafted of durable heat-resistant plastic, so on hot afternoons you won’t find a grey puddle where your DMP1 used to be.

For those deprived urchins among us who don’t have Cat-5 cable running out to our garages, the included USB-to-WiFi internet adapters make the whole thing work. The DWL-121 WiFi Adapter for car use and the home-use DWL-120R were both made by D-Link especially for Omnifi. Finally, the included SimpleCenter software does all the things you expect from a topflight audio management system: quickly and reliably rips tracks from CD to MP3, and sizes up your media and labels it with all the relevant discographical info.
