3G Ideas

File:Placeholder

Brainstorming resulted in the ideas of:

• Twitter integration for fun status updates/location
• video streaming (likely from a commercial surveillance system)
• Having both the arduino and video streaming would likely require some sort of router/switch
• General boat data (wind, GPS, heading)
• control the 3-axis camera and take a picture (would need some sort of real UI)

Current Focus:

• something fun: Twitter status updates!
