Just a few notes on my empeg install :-)

The photo shows the readability of my varius displays in
moderate sunlight: Motorola GSM phone, Kenwood HAM radio and Empeg car.

(I'll be working on it this evening)

EEK!!

Clean out that car!! LOL

Now all you need is a little LCD for DVD's, and you are completely distracted!

Nice install though!

Hehe. I know. I realised it after seeing the photos...

As for screen, I have got a Psion Revo there right now. A real
traffic hazard ;-) But so is the phone, SMS'ing all the time
while driving. I'll try to take some more photos some time soon. I've put some text onto the page as well now.

Aaaargh, SMSing while driving!? Let's see, what's that country one has to avoid? Aha, Norway! Well, perhaps one could drive on divided highways, with two sentries on lookout for small white convertible cars...

How about this project: say reading SMSes is OK if you see well enough; as for sending, laptop + GSM modem + e-mail to SMS gateway + dictation software...

Take care (really!)

Denmark, actually :-)

I'm moving from Norway to Copenhagen in August.
