Very fun project and I look forward to playing it.
But I watched this yesterday morning via Stumble. Seems Slashdot is now falling behind on getting me stories. I think this might be the 3rd or 4th in a lil over a week where I saw the article while using Stumble. Maybe I better start just submitting stories after I Stumble them and take credit for good reporting.

No one has said it yet. Lower the settings for call quality in your Vonage settings a bit till you reach a happy place. You already are giving top billing to the adapter so by doing that it would probably be all you need to do.
I know when I first got my vonage i had a lot of delay issues while gaming or downloading, till I lowered the quality then it was all fine. Still sounds great and no lagging issues.
Submission + - Rollable E Ink Display Becomes Real Product
An anonymous reader writes: Two years ago Philips unveiled a prototype of a functional electronic-document reader, called the Readius, which could unroll its display to a scale larger than the device itself. Unfortunately, that was only a prototype. According to Cnet, however, Polymer Vision, which spun out from Philips in 2006, has redesigned the Readius and turned it into a real product that it is going to be available by the end of this year. There are some notable differences between this Readius and the prototype version, in particular, the ability to display 16 shades of grey instead of just 4 and the connectivity options. What doesn't make sense though, is given the energy efficiency and easy-to-read high contrast functionality of E Ink, why other than Motorola with its Motofone, has no other cell phone manufacturer incorporated E Ink technology into its handsets?
