Resolved Question: Do you think this idea for a hoverboard would work?

Hello I often have crazy ideas and I have one for a hoverboard. My idea is to have a skateboard’s wheels taken off. Next mount a neodymium magnet onto the bottom of the wheel-less skateboard. After that nail a small board to each side of the skateboard and another board to connect the two smaller ones. After that mount the two more neodymium magnets onto the board that connects the two small ones so they would propel against the the one. After that hook up a car battery or a strong PDA battery to a switch and hook it connect it to the two neodymium magnets that will propel against the one by soldering it or something. Do you think that would be enough to make an actual hoverboard?

Resolved Question: Want to send earphone jack output wirelessly to small speakers fixed to shoulder strap – Bluetooth or FM?

Our specific problem is getting travel announcements from a PDA for the blind (PacMate about 6x10x2 inches 2 pounds) to the area of the ears without covering the ears so ordinary sound clues used by my blind wife are still available. One solution is a small FM transmitter intended to plug into a tape player and a small FM radio.with included or added speakers mounted to the shoulder strap.
A different solution would be to use a plug in Bluetooth transmitter – we own two different brands – to a battery powered speaker or open earphones (hook over the ear, but lay them flat) We have one of the latter and it isn’t loud enough by far. I am tempted by one of the speakers that clip on the sun shade for hands free phone use in a car, but I don’t know if it will partner with the transmitter units we have. Anyone have any experience?
I have looked at the larger Bluetooth speakers that sit on the shelf, but they all seem too large to fasten on a shoulder strap. Any suggestions?
I will explore other choices. One we can not do is a cable from the PDA to speakers – she often is carrying a backpack, purse and the PDA and the cable+speakers mess things up.

Resolved Question: is there something wrong with my t-mobile dash battery?

i recently bought a t-mobile dash from ebay. It is second hand i think. I read from the internet that the battery life of t-mobile dash is 202 hours but my dash’s battery life lasts only for one day or one day and half and I don’t do lots of text messaging yet. Normally, I do lots of SMS messaging. I was wondering if there is something wrong with the battery or the dash just eats a lot of battery life? It does not shut down nor anything else. My problem is it has low battery life. Do I need to change my battery or it is only normal for PDA’s to have low battery life? Please help me. i am clueless.

Resolved Question: Best phone for business?

I realise this is down to personal preference – But which phone would you recommend for business calling? By this I mean I need bluetooth but no other gadgets – I need a phone that has really good sound quality (preferably so my customers think I’m in my office rather than in my house) and that has good battery life.

I have used gadget phones and pda phones in the past and although they are useful, they are pretty terrible at phone calls! Does anybody make a good quality phone anymore which just does calling well?
