I would love an all singing, dancing and beer pouring gizmo but we are getting into feature creep. U now want bluetooth or 802.11 (forget abt connectors - wont last a day - does not gel with visually handicapped) and a webserver and POWER to keep it running. Your Solar panels are going to get big and expensive and a very attractive target for all the junkies around. If it is large it has to be mounted at suficient height making installation and maintanence expensive. And now u are adding huge costs for a microscopic minority of people who have web enabled pocket devices and actually need info which is more easily available by asking the local paanwalla. Guys our focus is mitigating the daily travails of visually handicapped using GNU components. As a spin off and funder acceptability it can be used by anyone with a radio. Get this working and in place. U can add FTV and Youtube and vending machines in the future. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
