My empeg is now installed on my bicycle (pictures to come in a day or so) and so far I only have two problems: the display is unreadable outdoors (see here) and my heart rate monitor quits working as soon as it gets within five inches of the empeg. (At first I thought I must be dead, since my heart rate was showing as Zero!) Since the monitor is installed less than an inch from the front panel of the empeg, this is problematical. Interestingly, when the empeg is put in standby, the heart rate monitor immediately starts working.

The heart rate monitor receives its data from a chest-mounted transmitter belt of very low power -- the maximum range is in the neighborhood of three to five feet.

I know this is going to be a very serious problem for the thousands of empeg owners who wish to mount both their empegs and their heart rate monitors on their bicycles. Do you think this problem will be solved in V1.1?
