sunlight readable LCD

Hello everyone.

>  * waterproof (substaintially more costs)

I would like to have those features but Neo Freerunner is "just" a smartphone. 
Hacking it this way would be too much costly. There should be two different 
types of devices developped and supported from OM core team from scratch. One 
a smartphone with Wi-Fi, BT, GPS, GMS, etc. as Neo is and second device a 
portable GPS with no additional technologies but with low battery consumption 
and sunlight readable LDC.

BTW: I'm considering to buy and use with Neo Freerunner such [1] hub dynamo 
but 165€ seem too much for me. Do you know about similar device but somehow 
cheaper? Another problem is that I'm not able to develop converter from 6V/3W 
to USB. Is there any skilled electroengineer who can desing such circuit?
