hella slow at Maker Faire last year. They didn't build the network to handle
crowds. A wifi based webcam on an Android would probably be a great
fallback. Does such an app exist? Maybe Qik can be convinced to use
wifi.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>We could affix a G1 to a tethered balloon and have it relay images
