Now if only SeeYou, flyWithCE, Glide Navigator II, or someone (Dave)
would make an app for this.


Beat me to the punch.


10 hrs of battery life they say. Plus a nice 9", seemingly bright
screen, USB, bluetooth for GPS connectivity (don't think it has one on
board), SD slot (I think) lightweight. $499 entry price. You could
just strap it to your leg instead of taking up panel space.


Get to work porting soaring software guys! *First one there gets my
money.


How much would you pay?


$499 is the entry-level price. SeeYou Mobile is, what, $250 per copy?
Add another hundred or two for a bluetooth GPS and it looks pretty
good compared to a ClearNav or Ultimate - but we'll see.
