My nokia n810 tablet has transflective LCD it works great in bright sunlight, I used it on my bike a bit, but the GPS on it sucks, too weak..pity else it would be an outstanding Linux tablet, with slide-out keyboard too.

You're nowhere near as bad as me, I have been known to take a year before I decide to buy something..by the time I decide, new technology has come out :D Seriously though, I think one shouldn't rush into these purchases..do your homework and read some reviews on Amazon etc.. I suppose you can...

I did say MIGHT though :P I'm becoming rather fond of this funky looking thing, which looks like something off the set of Star Wars. I would probably never use it, but its nice to look at! I have no idea how much these things cost, have a look on eBay and make me a reasonable offer if you like...

I have the Council authority and police on side (they will be actually accessing the camera and using any evidence, as together we're planning to take these individuals to court), plus I have my own firm of solicitors who have advised me its fine, so don't think we need to worry about the legal...

A shed full of car batteries for a fiver, that sounds like a plan :D

There's some renewed speculation now with a new film just out questioning whether Shakespeare really was the literary genius and even wrote anything..or whether he was a just a personality/front for someone else much better educated. Warwickshire's Council near to me have crossed out...

eHomer..BMS Battery... *cough* big time undervalued customs on my latest order of 10 parts, including motor.. Got my FedEx "you owe us" letter...VAT+Duty (just £7!!).. they just put "wheelchair parts..qty 10*$6 = $60" .. you might get lucky if you buy a battery and they do the same for...

Very logical thinking, seems the most safe and convenient way. Heh, I'm with you on the ipad too, you couldn't PAY me to use that stuff.. rip-off. Android all the way for me, I love my Android phone :D I do have a Linux tablet too, might put that on my bike...it only needs 3.7V!

Indeed, that's what I first thought too.. I remember those as a wee lad, the mopeds covered in mirrors on both sides ;-) The more mirrors you had, the higher your status? :D I never did understand the whole "mod" thing but I remember their distinctive green coats and skinny ties.

What type of battery is that jazper? Does it last a good while between charges? Is your power setup just to charge your device or to continually power it?

Have you decided yet Lyn? This is the transformer laptop I have: http://youtu.be/ZAyLrRDpcSw It's a bit beefy and I expect you're after something lady-like and portable? Else I might be selling this Toshiba Portege R400 soon for a bargain price if yer interested.. it's brand new...well...

Amazing stuff, you had that done didn't you flecc? The advancement in medical science is progressing fast now.. I went to the doctors y'day for my first health check in AGES..when you turn 40 you're supposed to have them regularly..blood pressure, cholesterol etc. I was amazed how quick and...

Not a single reply! Nobody like my story or read the book :-(

Ok this is totally unrelated to e-bikes, so I thought best to post it here..I just hope some knowledgeable types see it ;-) I just bought one of those IP/WiFi webcam thingies which is intended as a low budget CCTV system which you can pan and tilt remotely..you know the type of cheapo chinese...

Nice one Jim, often the simple straightforward approach is always better I say..unless you're a tight git like me and want to save some pennies ;-)

I like how the big muther one is just tucked underneath, like an extra measure in case all the others don't do it ;-)

Good price too.. the problem with Chinese stuff so cheap as the inverters is you can never be sure of the quality or how the thing is going to perform under load over time.. probably fine, but if you have very expensive equipment connected best to spend a bit more or else add-in your own voltage...

I think it would be fine, but just to be safe I'd put a quick blow fuse in there on the output or something.

Good point, like d8veh said, especially if connecting to an expensive phone or gadget. Better get a wide safety margin on input or else look at putting in some overload protection/fuse etc.

Import VAT bonus I just received my VAT & Duty letter today from FedEx for the recent delivery of my BMS Battery parts.. Only £7 import VAT and Duty!!! Whoohoo. There's a copy of a BMS invoice attached (which interestingly wasn't in the package, so either Border Agency or FedEx lifted...
