    Dark screen, white fonts. High contrast is recomended (black/white, red/yellow). I don't know how it is in Istanbul, but in my country is highly recomended to don't show-off with that kind of pmp, because you can lose it very fast;d

    Adjust background blend to 0. It is under Settings/Display.

    And Istanbul is a lot like New York actually.

    just what kahveisteyen said, and you should also increase the back light brightness to 100% the only bad thing about this, is that you're battery-life will be shortened

    Shadows help to see screen turn your back to the sun, or find some shade.

    Use your pouch that comes with the miniplayer to cover the sun.

    hmm.. haven't tried that as it's generally not advisable to flaunt your gadgets in my country else it be snatched away by opportunistic thieves. :P

    in general, lcd screens are hard to see/read in direct sunlight so you probably just need to cast a shadow over the screen, as advised by previous posters.
