Unfortunately sold out, but once there's another cheap offer, get one
quickly while you can!


The Dell Streak Mini is still the best cockpit device you can get
currently. *It takes advantage of the sunlight (transflective screen)
instead of trying to beat the sun.

There might be better choice out thehttp://www.slashgear.com/samsung-gal...view-02192592/


the Samsung Galaxy Player with 5" TFT display, GPS and Wi-Fi for
around $250 is a really good find. It also has reasonable power
consumption and 2.5 AH battery. It also has a newer Android version
than the Dell.


I have actually been looking at this too. Does anyone have any hands
on experience with this device? *It looks like a really good option
looking at the specs at a very reasonable price.


My daughter just bought this device. I am waiting for a sunny day in
the North-East to test it. Tomorrow looks like the day. I will report
back.
