New year, New Toy: LEGO Mindstorms + Android

there was a sale, and I couldn't resist;  plus I had a gift card...

So now we have yet another type of computer in the house.

Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0
kit 8547

initial kit has one colour sensor and two touch sensors + ultrasonic
(older version had a monochrome light sensor, sound sensor and one touch sensor + ultrasonic)

In addition to the default windows setup that came in the box (which needed a updated Fantom Driver)
Have hooked it up the the Android phone via the MINDdroid app, as well as the Linux box via
NXT Python

note:  Buy Rechargeable Batteries!
