I got curious: we have a van that can play media from a thumbdrive--both music and movies[1]. So along with your bluetooth connection (music only) and CDs and DVDs, there's also a meaty media option. I think this sounds fun to play with, especially when Goose gets a bit older and we give her the power to pipe whatever to her little screen/headphone jack[2]--put on a fistful of movies or a season of a show, some Good Albums, a themed vacation mix tape... lots of possibility here! The thing is, the USB slot designated for this function is at a really bad spot. Like "guaranteed to get whacked out and likely snap the drive any time anyone puts their bag in the foot well/designated bagzone" bad. I guess you could get a female to male cable to move the stick/provide relief, but I leapt straight to thinking low profile USBs should exist--either with a right angle connector or like, half size, or whatever, right?

I guess I'm old and still stuck in the 512mb days or not a dreamer or whatever cuz oh my goodness these are so so so funny to me--you can get a 128gb (or more!) flash drive that's no bigger than a mouse/peripheral wireless dongle. I literally laughed out loud when my search immediately returned hundreds of teensy tiny usb dongle flash drives. Information storage vs physical size is insane, a delight.
