Thanks Paul - much appreciated.

Q1. What is the situation with mounts?

Q2. How did you find the new touchpad (instead of the rocker
switch)?

Cheers

Jim Kelly.

Hi,

I received my iPAQ 4705 this week. Like the Toshiba e800 the
screen is a
little larger than most Pocket PCs and it is about the same
brightness as
most current Pocket PCs. It looks about the same (maybe slightly
brighter)
as my iPAQ 3970 in sunlight. The high resolution screen is not
an advantage
or disadvantage for Glide Navigator II as it appears to display
at the
standard (old) resolution. It uses the same cables as the iPAQ
3900 and
5000 series.

pocket*StrePla did not seem to be able to display the maps at
all. It
displayed waypoints and SUAs and text fine, but no maps. Team
StrePla has a
unit on the way to them and I'm sure they will get it working
soon.

I'm very impressed with the high resolution display. The Toshiba
e800 could
go into high resolution mode but did not seem designed to use the
high
resolution much. This new iPAQ uses the high resolution
capabilities in
every menu, dialog box, icon etc and it looks extremely sharp.
It seems to
run low resolution programs like GN II just fine and when dialog
boxes
appear over the program they are in high resolution.

I like the fact that it has both CF and SD card slots on top of
the unit. I
also like that a large battery will be available as an option
soon. That
will make the unit very nice for use as a portable system that
doesn't need
to be connected to an external battery.

Good Soaring,
