I missed out on the Telstra $299 web-special, and I'm currently divided because I want an ASUS Transformer or a compromise in the middle (like the new SGTab 8.9").

You know why, like I told you, I will put the amplifier under the front-passenger-seat and hook it up to the device which will become the centre-console (not dash) and double up as the GPS receiver. And possibly make a good mobile companion (to my i9000/N900) or home entertainment (competing with my PS3).

Here's a picture of my '01 Corolla, it has the best spot for the tablet but only a 7" will fit.
I would need to cut into the plastic it if I want a 8.9" in there, should I?
Naw, I think the 7-inch tablet format factor is PERFECT--especially if you grab yourself the car dock and rip it apart to fit it into that cavity so that you can easily pop off the Tab (like a stereo face plate would) and then take it with you wherever you go--at least it'll also fit in your pockets.

Do it.
You're clearly not really part of this crowd if you think that's the way I'd do it. You didn't even ONCE mention 'duct tape'. I would absolutely DUCT TAPE that car mount and splice the Samsung charger (2 amp for full rapid charge) USB port to the console so you can use it to charge the Tab with the wire you'll have dangling out of a corner of the car mount, or plug in your other USB devices to charge. DUCT TAPE! LEARN IT! Also, seriously? There I fixed it? We're talking AUTOMOBILE augmentation here! http://www.thatwillbuffout.com
