Yes, except for IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads (which I have

And true
but my ASICs both broke (and my cost of power has skyrocketed anyway :/ )
Thanks,

Hi Chris,
I did find out that QCN also supports Android and in some cases it can use the built in sensor (like the ThinkPad you have)...however, I guess that means that like the separate ONavi and Phidget sensors, the smartphone or tablet needs to be glued or secured to a wall, otherwise any normal movement will make it think there's been a major quake !!
Which is fine if you can afford to glue said mobile or tab to a wall...but I guess the chances of measuring a earthquake in UK is pretty low anyways....
As I recall, the original QCN project catered mainly for people who lived in California...
re: ASIC's
How on earth did you manage to break them? Did you try and overclock them causing them to burn out? As mentioned a long while back, if you did try to overclock them, then all you needed to do was strap them to a large piece of metal (I used an old CPU heatsink, which worked well), maybe running a longer USB extension cable to them and the extra lump of metal acts as a much better heatsink
.

Tim
