Comment Air Conditioning Options (Score 1) 378

This is getting closer to my price range, but it doesn't appear to have any kind of cooling system, at least they've been mum on the subject so I assume that's the case. As I live in Texas, that's a pretty big deal... Tesla: Here's an idea... Given that there's space under the hood that's not being used, install some Vortex Tubes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_tube) in the front of the car and funnel the cooled air into the cab for A/C. It would only work while you were moving fast enough to generate the compressed air, but it would be better than nothing.

None of this is substantiated but I'm still thinking it's going to be DEAD ON. If I'm wrong this is still the device they SHOULD make :)

  • It will be called the "iTouch"
  • Full OSX 10.6 support
  • Screen will approximately 5.25"x8.5", basically the size of a 8.5x11" paper folded in half).
  • Resolution will be either 960x1600 if they go with the new 180dpi screens or 840x1400 if they stick with the iPhone's ~160dpi
  • No physical keyboard, just Bluetooth mouse/kb support. Device will possibly have a "photo frame" style fold-out back for propping it up when in use with a Bluetooth keyboard.
  • Multi-touch up to 5 points similar to iPhone. Virtual keyboard will allow shift/alt combinations, etc.
  • Stylus support for signatures (optional and external to the device)
  • 3G Unlocked SIM slot for data (along with 802.11b/g/n)
  • GPS w/WAAS or EGNOS (for increased accuracy) built in
  • Non-removable battery similar to the design direction with the iPhone 3G and MBP 17" Unibody.

You need an iPod and Audible. The unabridged books are fantastic. I use them for long drives but if I had vision problems it would make reading much more enjoyable. They even have monthly "listener" plans that you subscribe to and can then pick a set number of titles you can buy each month for no additional charge.
