There's a new mobile media software in town and it really looks promising. The C-Car Project is a new Macintosh application specifically designed for in-car use to easily control your music, movies and pictures.

Benjamin, the sole developer of this program, has been working on the CCarProject application for a couple months now and the current alpha version is coming along nicely. The programs UI is very polished and has been well thought out, utilizing large controls that are easy to access via a touch-screen LCD. Currently, music playback is the only functional part of the application, but future development will encompass movie playback and picture viewing as well.

Wouldn't it be great if you could navigate your iTunes music library in your Mac'd ride without looking at the display? Well now you can! With Valencio Productions SpeakTunes, controlling your music collection just got easier. Utilizing Mac OS X's built-in voice capabilities, SpeakTunes provides spoken feedback to navigate playlists, browse music collections and change various playback settings. You can simply use the arrow keys to navigate and control the playback of your tunes (there is also support for using the Keyspan Digital Media Remote).

i3 Team has just launched version 1.1 of their i3 intelligent integrated interface for Macintosh in-car computing. This $25 application launcher features a slick interface with customizable buttons for launching various applications. In fact, the program is 90% customizable, allowing the user to skin the look of the application and control the position of all the buttons. There are already a few user contributed skins available on their site.

An open-source project has been started to create a graphical front-end for using OS X in a car environment! The iDash project is an AppleScript driven front-end that will allow easy access to music, videos, pictures, GPS, and even XM Radio via a simple touch screen interface

This project is in the early stages of development, but could prove to be an excellent interface solution.
