My Samsung Galaxy Note II has a 5.5" touch screen you don't even have to
touch to use, and I have an app that has a HUD mode for speed. I just
throw it on the dash and it reads my speed off the windshield. HUD
isn't really a technology, it's just flipping the picture vertically and
adjusting the brightness of the reflection.
