Hi,

I can't help you with the first part of your post, but (in my opinion) the
best PDA option is the Oudie2. The original version was extremely popular
(I sold over 400.). The new brighter version is already proving extremely
popular. They will be available in August. You can see details using the
link below.

Apple is rumored to have a smaller, 7" iPad in the works to compete
with the Kindle Fire which would make it more accomodating in the
cockpit for a nav aid than the 11" version. (There may also be a touch-
screen in development with realistic tactile feel from a company in
Sweden). Anyone have an opinion as to whether to wait until a smaller
iPad is available? There was a discussion awhile back that the Kindle
pixel refresh on a moving map is too slow. Is this an issue with the
iPad? Alternatively, what's the best smartphone or PDA (with internal
GPS) available now; the Dell Streak 5?
