To find a better solution to this problem u should get introduced to Earl- an Android 4.1 tablet, a remarkable product from Sqigle Inc.. It is a better companion at extreme conditions. It is a solar charged two-way radio enabled, waterproof tablet. It employs electrophoretic display (the likes of which are generally found in eBook readers), alongside built-in GPS chip sets, weather sensors and radio communication technology. Earl has a glove-friendly e-ink touchscreen, mono-crystalline solar cells that can provide a full charge in five hours, and is completely dust-, mud-, shock-, and waterproof. The device can handle altitudes up to 40,000 feet, and operates in temperatures ranging from 0-50 °C. One of the benefits of using E-ink is it’s low power qualities. The screen is static and requires zero power to hold an image, which means that maps will stay on the screen forever. This tablet also plots your precise location, direction, and elevation with their GPS chip set and integrated "cutting-edge motion, force and orientation sensors", and gives users access to some 300,000 trail maps. And when you absolutely need to know what the weather is doing, the internal weather sensors (thermometer, hygrometer, barometer and anemometer) will help to give you a clue. The creators claim that the flip-out laminated solar panel that comes with Earl can provide 20 hours of battery life and recharge itself in 5 hours of direct sunlight. Discharge rates will vary depending on sensor and radio usage. If one was using the GPS and constantly updating, battery life would drop just like in any regular mobile phone. Our solar cell is a 6 volt 2 watt panel.


Earl also features a built-in AM/FM/SW/LW radio tuner for your listening pleasure, and an integrated two-way radio (FRS, GMRS and MURS) will connect users to digital or analog radio frequencies up to 20 miles away, letting them communicate with others in 'walkie-talkie' mode.


And because this device runs on the Android platform, users have access to thousands of compatible apps, extending functionality even further, and Earl's open API lends itself to further development and integration with apps and guidebooks.



“We are designing Earl to last. We expect the life of Earl to exceed 5 years. We are on schedule but our main challenge will be FCC [Federal Communications Commission] approval. We are confident that our design will meet their standards,” said Perry, Creator of Earl who is looking to start the production process from July. Lets wait for a difference!!!

What are some mistakes people make when they start learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript?

Using id instead of class names Many beginners are tending to write CSS using id names instead of CSS class names. We should always aim to reuse the code as much as possible. By using id names we are applying styles only to that particular div rather than sharing the styles which are common to div s having the same class name. Do read this article which gives a practical approach to maintainable CSS . Not using CSS shorthand Using CSS shorthand will come as a second nature by practice. Until then we need to force ourselves to write CSS in the right way. While working on a large project, we will notice that by using shorthand properties the number of code lines in CSS file will be reduced reasonably. CSS Measurements 0px is just a 0. There is no need to mention if it is a px or em. Following a standard measurement throughout the project is important. Be it px or rem, it should be followed by all for the project. Using relative values are encouraged more than absolu
