Coincidentally that's what I do (to some extent). I use the following offline resources: * Wikipedia (smartphone, PC): Aard Dict[1] * Translation apps (smartphone) * OpenStreetMap (smartphone): OsmAnd[2] [1]: http://aarddict

Regarding OsmAnd: You can download free fully-featured releases on the project's site as well [1] (and you may consider a PayPal donation instead of paying via the Play Store then [2]). [1]: http://download.osmand.net/r

The article claims that you're exposed to constant G-force in such an unround "circle". This is only partially true (if you're riding in the exact middle of the train), because the vehicle is so long. Riding in a rollerc

That's been fixed [1] by enabling TRIM for the eMMC as of Android 4.3 already. I wouldn't call the Kingston eMMC chips cheap, most of the time it's a buggy FTL (flash translation layer) that causes problems. Other manufacture

If you're super paranoid and don't use the Play store, you can also install the full featured version from F-Droid[0], the Android FOSS store. I'd suggest buying the plus version or donating to OsmAnd though, if you like it.

If you don't need the "with images" option, have a look at Aard Dictionary [1], the precompiled english Wikipedia has around 8GB at the moment. It has an app for android also. [1]: http://aarddict.org

The cheapest available model listed in OpenWRT's table of (supported) hardware. Then flash it with OpenWRT and all's fine (mostly). E.g. TP-Link's WR841N for 20 dollars: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FWYGJ
