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 was able to test this device in direct sunlight today. Although it
is not as good as my ClearNav it is truly excellent. I was at work
today and was not able to take picture but for some unknown reason
tomorrow we might have another sunny day in the north east and I will
take pictures. I will be replacing my HP310 with this device.
