I have a Galaxy Tab - (it is so old it doesn't have a version number) -

well being black and sitting in the sun is heating it up and making it

I like XCSOAR and I like a 7 inch screen - I like color - any

suggestions?

I am thinking to get a white new Galaxy, but maybe there is something

out
there that works better. I also use it to keep occupied on my commute to
work (retiring is not an option)

Same here, this side of the pond: I use a Nexus 7 also. Reasonably good
screen, clear, bright, even with sunglasses on (though we haven't seen a
lot of sun lately over here...grrr!)
Battery life is not bad for short flights too, though external power would
be a better option.

BTW, your forum is of way more interest: we're having to endure an
incredible amount of garbage on uras and urasb these days...
Regards to all.
