well, actually it's a bit of a larger issue. you can read more about this project here: (http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/info/p...cketmuseum.pdf

Basically, the batteries run down, visitors get an error message, wifi gets disabled and the device becomes useless. Then the device gets returned to our staff who have to kill a kiosk client, reenable the wifi, relaunch the client and hand it back out. I'm sure you can imagine, if you had to do this dozens of times a day, this could get pretty annoying.

To top it off, visitors are seeing a message that I would rather supress. It would be better if the wifi worked until the battery was 100% dead -- at least that way it would not be confusing for our patrons.
