Start off with the basic functionality of the Flightdeck (integrated buttons in the hoods, gear indicators etc.) Add wireless -real- cadence, wireless rear wheel speed sensor. Configurable LCD display like the Cateye OS, built-in HRM. Add data download capability with configurable output so you can import the data into whatever training/tracking program you choose.

I'm testing a cycling data logger at the moment... It logs speed, cadence, distance, avg speed, avg cadence, altitude, etc every 2 seconds for up to 18 hours. Download the data to your PC at the end of the ride and graph the results, email to a friend, etc. It's at prototype stage at the moment, but won't be long before it's on the market...

hmmm....

what i want?
1. I want a bright full color display...
2. I want a light sensitive backlight. The computer should automatically turn on when its dark.--assuming #1 is not possible.
3. I want GPS. Comes Standard with almost all SUVs these days.
4. Hey, since we are at it, a security system...
5. A Data Bank, and A direct link to any computer
6. Bluetooth would be nice.. MP3, Radio -- I ride to relax.
7. And get it free. haha!

Is it possible to fit a whole laptop into a small cyclo computer? if it is, i would like that..... dream on...................
