Gee, I thought the UK was ahead of the US in the police PC in-car (and other) usage. I was watching a show on TechTV a few weeks back, and the mounted (horse) patrols in one city (Manchester? I forget...) were using wireless PCs. The PC was mounted in a saddle bag, with a mini display/keyboard combo in the Officer's hand. It showed him running a Wants and Warrants Check on a suspect in a back alley. The NYPD Mounted Unit doesn't have these. I reasoned that if the UK police had that for the mounted units they would certainly have them for the cars, but I guess not!

Cheers,
