I might get one at that price if i can order the sensors being general public

Pretty cheap at the price I guess...bet you could turn it into a nice GPS...but I'd like to have the geiger probe...and I wonder how well the Java is integrated ito the browser...

I have one, probably from the same seller (or at least the same original source, some consolidated school system). Unfortunately, while I was fooling around with it, I erased or somehow turned off the wireless system (as in ignored the message "are you sure"... thinking that I could always reset it from the ROM). Anyway, the screen is nice and bright and there's certainly enough USB ports (and a real VGA port). Other than my students thinking I've attached a LeapPad to our projector system, it's serviceable. It's on my list of gadgets to play with when I get the time. I was going to use it as an ebook reader. Maybe time for me to power it up (I checked it the other day; after sitting for 6+ months, I thought the charge would be long depleted... but everything was there)?
