I am currently using a tablet and the search window covers up my chat room tab. Am I the only one with this problem? I assume it is because of my tablet?

If anyone is interested in a cheap tablet, I've been watching the tablet market and wishing for something bigger than my Iphone an cheaper than an Ipad. I may have found it in the form of a Barnes and Noble "Nook Color". It is a$ 249 Android bases e-reader. It has limited web function outbox the box. However, it can be rooted, a term i hadn't heard of before yesterday. The rooting process cracks the operating system to enable the full feature set of an Android tablet. I'm writing this post on it now. It is the same size as the Samsung Galaxie Tab with a 7 inch screen. It lacks the gps and camera and only has a wifi connection. You can download apps from the android market. I am still learning the android system but i think it will do what need/want. If your interested you can check unit out at http://www.bn.com and for rooting info just google "nook rooting" Dennis -
had to have myself a tablet PC (Dell) so I got one on a lease with a dollar buy out. Now why did I have to do that??? The video driver which controls screen orientation craps out! So the tablet function is all but a moot point. I use a second monitor in the office, there have been many instances where when I wake it up my screen is in large type. I may be going blind, but I don't need the computer to decide I need large type. Firefox: It won't open! Icon is there, it just quit working. I've already re-installed it a number of times, seems to have problems each time. The not working part is just the latest. At times when I click on a button in one program, it switches applications instead. Loading programs is (from my perspective) r-e-a-l s--l--o--w ! External monitor will suddnly get fuzzy (little red lines running through it), won't go away till I re-start. I'd send the damn thing back, but, Oh no! you can't do that! So I 'm screwed. :soapbox:O.K. I'm done b**ching now!

Well, Since I have the bike all torn apart right now... I figure it's time to start a project I've been long putting off. I bought a plain old vanilla venture. My previous bike was a BMW R1100RTP so I miss all the electrical doo-dads (that's right, I used doo-dads in a sentence) Anyway, I have an Idea of what I want on there. I have already got some of the items, and I know what I want for some others. I mocked up a rough diagram attached below. The Items with pictures are Items I already have or have picked out. I'm planning on running the XM audio through the input on the tablet pc.... that way, I can always hear the GPS nav prompts. I'll run the audio out from the tablet pc into a switch or splitter of some kind. The audio on one "branch" will run to a 2 channel amplifier powering the roadmasters in my fairing. the issue I am having here, is finding a suitable amplifier that has some kind of remote variable gain knob that I can mount on the fairing. If anyone seen anything please let me know. The only thing I've been able to find are some chinese products on ebay, and I'm leery of the quality. The other branch will run to an amplifier driving some helmet speakers. Again, I'm having trouble finding the right product here as well. I used to just plug my earbuds into the tablet pc, but I don't want to have to deal with in ear phones as helmet speakers are more convenient and don't hurt my ears on long rides. I'm concerned about volume being an issue though, and would rather have a fairing mounted volume control here as well. Lastly, does anyone have any recommendations for a good set of helmet speakers? I have a Schuberth Concept helmet, it that will affect the choices at all. I may add a CB at some point, and am thinking about a bluetooth cell phone kit. (It won't need to be wired in, as I won't talk on the phone while riding, but something on the "dash" so I know if my wife is trying to reach me I would appreciate any advice you may have, and maybe someone will have an even simpler way to accomplish the same goals. Thank you very much Mark
