I took a bus to work last two days for a change. It’s a bit over half an hour trip, little more than it takes to ride a bike, which gives you some time to kill. Naturally I tried browsing a bit, but alas within five minutes I was already feeling carsick, damn. 🙁
Convincing myself there are other ways to use it I tried the default Internet Radio channels. Connects fine, sound quality is rather good, for the moments you hear anything (2s music, 3s buffering, 2s music, 3s buffering, …) .. it was too much for GPRS, but that was to be expected. Might work with lower bitrate streams, but then, what would be the point?
As I seem to be ill-equipped to handle the device in a bus I need to figure out how to use it while riding a bike, which I do much, much more often anyway. One idea that comes to mind would be to mount it like an odometer and have it show a GPS map. Now that’s something I would be able to use 🙂
