<div>Really good idea Peter. I think it may be a bit ahead of it's time however. Given the demographics of the average competitor I think that even a tablet may be restrictive. Maybe one of those joke sized TV remotes is more like what would be needed!! I think that a more independent system (ie closed loop with router) my be worth looking into. Then again, I have zero experience with computer/wireless systems. I had to get help just to set up my WEP encryption!! I sure like the concept though.</div>
