Every once in awhile something interesting shows up in my inbox buried
under all of the other advertisements. Yesterday I received this one: http://tinyurl.com/yrl8bb It purports to be a wireless, waterproof, touch sensitive screen for remote control and display of a PC. It looks like it might be particularly useful for the cockpit of sailboats or on small power boats. Apparently it is battery operated. Anyone have any experience with something like this? I have no connection with the product or vendor. |

I have no connection with the product or vendor. Pricy for what it is. I wonder about it's viewability in sunlight. If you need to build a sunshade for it, you might just go ahead and build a water resistant enclosure and throw a laptop into it.Very short battery life which is understandable. There may be a practical application, but I can't think of any. I spoke too soon. I just thought of something. How about reading rec.boats while taking a shower. Kidding of course. |

I agree it's pricey, but the practical apps would include chart-reading and general nav issues? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
