These new devices are interesting, notwithstanding possible slowness.
However, I wonder how you mount them in the cockpit since they're so large.
Will you make a leg strap or mount it to a stalk? Simply laying it on your
lap could become an expensive surprise when you hit a strong vertical shear
and it rises up and through your canopy!

I made paper cutouts of all my instruments and of various sized Android
devices and tried laying them on a spare uncut panel I have. Not even a 7
inch model could be integrated into my panel and I didn't want a Ram mounted
thing that big blocking the view of my panel.

For now, my Streak on a home made mount works great but I'm always on the
lookout for a suitable replacement.

I can vouch for it as an e-reader but it is pretty slow for something like
xc-soar.
