I want a car charger for the droid x though!
You just need one of those cig-lighter USB converters, then plug your usb in to it.

I got one like this though. Have not used it yet:

Actually good for you....I've considered that myself....my commute is pretty short at the moment though.
Never cared about any of it except maybe the HDMI cable until last night. My brother-in-law works for Moto and swears by Google Nav. He then proceeded to give me BS shortcut directions from their house to the interstate; problem is while I may be the one who lives out where the buses don't run (literally and figuratively), they live where none of the streets run north-south or east-west (literally but not figuratively), so that after 20 minutes even my truck's compass wasn't helping. I finally stopped and after cursing everyone but my wife and Ozzie Guillen I fired up Google Nav. It works a treat, as Am might say. However, it's a bit of a challenge to drive a 4WD while holding a Droid X and following the map. Anyway, I got us back on the right route and informed Shel, "I am SO getting the dash mount."

I suppose one reason I was mad about it was that my sense of direction is usually pretty impressive but the in-truck compass says only 'N', 'NE', 'SW' etc. and it was dark out so I got all turned around. On the other hand, if you haven't used Google Nav I highly recommend at least trying it out before you find yourself in a situation where you actually need it (where we were last night was bereft of any place to stop for directions). It does voice nav and turn-by-turn but I leave the voice nav off since it's somewhat slow to respond from what I understand (and I wouldn't hear it in my truck anyway).

I'm celebrating reaching my reading goal: 36,500 pages in 2010 (100 pages per day)! I counted pages in the print edition if the book was an ebook or audiobook.

Who said pooh was not free-range? Sounds like he has a wide and varied diet and gets out quite a bit. Plenty of flanour!

Do you have to set you font to extra large to manage that?

I do set the font pretty large, but that's because I have crappy eyesight. However, if the book was an ebook, I counted the number of pages in the regular print edition, not the "pages" displayed in the ebook. Four of the books (out of 119) were large print dead-tree-books. Twenty-five were ebooks and the rest were audiobooks.
