Even at rest, you'd have to kneel down, poke your head around the seat to operate the screen, and look like a total fool.

Look, this is pretty cool, but unless you only park in a secure garage, this rig is going to get ripped off in about 2 seconds. Having a cool stereo in a locked car is bad enough - I've had my window bashed in in broad daylight - but a whole computer rig in an open vehicle? God, I hope you have good insurance.]]>Aug 8th 2007 7:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/modded-vespa-rocks-touchscreen-xp-and-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/modded-vespa-rocks-touchscreen-xp-and-wifi/Aug 8th 2007 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/modded-vespa-rocks-touchscreen-xp-and-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/modded-vespa-rocks-touchscreen-xp-and-wifi/Aug 8th 2007 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/modded-vespa-rocks-touchscreen-xp-and-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/modded-vespa-rocks-touchscreen-xp-and-wifi/

The new flat touch screens on the Vespas are a robbery waiting to happen there is nothing protecting it.

these are the kind of creative people that need to address real issues, like starving kids in every country, global warming/cooling (whatever the press says it's doing this week), alternative fuel sources, and so on. this is obviously a talented person, but I wonder why there was such a huge waste of resources and potentally good for humankind?

isn't a little scooter like that for escaping reality rather than bringing negative news from the Internet along with you?]]>Aug 8th 2007 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/modded-vespa-rocks-touchscreen-xp-and-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/modded-vespa-rocks-touchscreen-xp-and-wifi/

Nah, that hand is part of the mod. When it's not on the touchscreen, it's on your Wii.]]>Aug 8th 2007 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/modded-vespa-rocks-touchscreen-xp-and-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/modded-vespa-rocks-touchscreen-xp-and-wifi/Aug 8th 2007 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/modded-vespa-rocks-touchscreen-xp-and-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/modded-vespa-rocks-touchscreen-xp-and-wifi/BTW .. the screen does not interfere with the driving ..

Also an italian guy did a better version
http://www.epiacenter.com/modules.php?name=Sections&sop=viewarticle&artid=56

My experience was that it needs to be waterproof, visible in sunlight and the touch screen needs to work with gloves. My other experience was that the GPS told me how bad my speedometer read (10Km/hr too high) so I have now been spending time making me Vespa go faster :)
