    I know our touchscreen quallcoms have...freecell I think it is.

    I have my trusty laptop which can output to my 19" ldc tv. Also got the xbox for the boring 34 hour restarts in the middle of nowhere. Satellite radio and tether to my android phone for internet. I also learned in addition to netflix/hulu my cable co has on demand online so I can go there and stream my tv shows when I want which is nice. I also like to sleep...I bring my body pillow with me which helps me sleep in a more comfortable position (my GF calls it the b!tch because I kinda hug it all night between my knees and arms).

    I don't know what droid you have but I have the incredible 2 and you can hook it to your tv and there is a blockbuster and netflix app that you can rent movies and watch directly on your tv. You can play games to and whatever else your phone does right over your tv.

    There is nothing like entertainment though kickin back in the drivers seat with a hot cup of coffee, during a bad storm when the roads are just closing in the truck stop parking lot with the cb on watching and listening to all the action. No better show on earth!

    1 - A TV (9 inch or better). Buy a Digital Box, hook up to an antenna and you're set.
    2 - Laptop computer
    3 - GPS system
    4 - Serious/XM radio
    5 - Refrigerator/Cooler
    6 - Coffee maker
    And of course you'll need blankets, pillows, sheets, shaving kit, towels, etc. Save all of your receipts on anything you buy and give those to whoever does your taxes. It's all a write off, just make sure you list them as truck/trucker supplies.
    Good luck.

    If you are a team that body pillow is an awesome kickstand to keep you from rocking back and forth while you are trying to sleep!

    I guess you could put a wig on it and call it Sally!

    I was looking at porty potties, but how can you keep them clean? I would hate to have crap and pee all over it in my truck.
