This issue is valid but I have never seen any PDA which is optimum for
strategic purposes. A laptop, tablet, or panel-mount MFD is needed to
optimize strategic weather planning.



The newer VGA-capable PDAs actually present a pretty nice big picture,
though on smaller display than a laptop or TabletPC.
