The only thing I'd change is the time issue. I'm not in any particular rush to enable people to have/build this. Why the added time pressure? If we build it, they will come.

Aside from wanting to learn about this stuff, my original motivation was simply to develop something like the MID - with the same basic features - that many people keep asking about, but can't get for reasons of availability or affordability, or because they can't stomach the thought of a display that doesn't read in mpg (US) .
