Using Q1 as GPS


I got a Microsoft GPS few years ago. After installing MS Streets and Trips, I turned my Q1 to a GPS. The screen is huge comparing most GPS on the market since I have 7inch screen. Right now, Microsoft offers MS Streets and Trips 2009 version. Here is the screen dump of this GPS and MS street running on my Q1. This GPS receiver is connect to Q1 with an USB port. The signal is strong. I am using this Q1 GPS during driving and having a power inverter to provide power to Q1.

Use Q1 as main laptop, with WiMax and inflight

My Toshiba laptop died about two month ago. I have been using this Q1 and main laptop since then. Sometimes, I connect to a bigger monitor for easy reading. I have be enjoying to use Q1 since I got it. In few month, Sprint WiMax - XOHM will be here. I may get a card and put into this Q1 so I can get on Internet at any place. Starting this year, airlines are starting to offer onflight Internet. Q1 is good for connecting to Internet in flight. I may try that next time.
