Hi Roderick,
Just FYI, the overall size of the Oudie 2 is nearly identical to the overall
size of your iPAQ. The Oudie 2 and Oudie 2 Lite a 135 x 86 x 14 mm (5.3
x 3.4 x 0.55 inches) in size. Also, the Oudie2 doesn't need as large of a
cradle as some of the nice iPAQ cradles were. However, the Oudie 2's screen
is much larger and much, much, much easier to read in sunlight. It is also
supplied with a power/data cable and adapters for connection to most soaring
flight instruments. If you are using a RAM or gooseneck arm to mount your
iPAQ in the glider, I have a $12 adapter which can be used to connect the
Oudie's cradle to a RAM or RAM-GN3-238 diamond shaped gooseneck adapter.
The Oudie 2 has been extremely popular. If you buy one, you won't regret
it. They are $375 for the Oudie 2 Lite and $625 for the Oudie 2 with SeeYou
Mobile Lifetime License for Oudie.

I also have a good deal on a new Oudie 2 which is 1.5 years old. It is
supplied with SeeYou Mobile Lifetime License for $525 ($100 off). It has
never been used - other than software upgrades by me. I'm selling it at a
discount because it is not quite the latest hardware version - so it may not
be quite as fast or quite as power efficient as the current Oudie 2 units.
It comes with all the standard accessories and in its original box.
Best Regards,

Thanks for the support on this. It seems to be down to the internal
battery now, but those seem difficult to find as well - V6HR, but will
look around for something today.
I do have a 3955 as well, but same issue - need a new battery for that.
I've been too busy teaching the past year or two, and haven't had a
chance to use my devices, but want to get them updated for the coming
season, and use them with Condor.
Cheers,

Rod, throw that 3955 as far as you can in the general direction of your
trash can. I still have one too but just as a backup for my Avier. Buy
one of those or an Oudie and you won't look back. I hated flying a final
glide in contests trying to decipher what the IPAQ was not allowing me to
see with the sun at the 'wrong' angle. The newer screens are so much
better, it not even funny. IPAQ's time has come and gone.
Herb,
I agree, it probably does not make much sense to bring these things back to
life, but want to figure out the best way to utilize what little space I
have in the Libelle.
Cheers,
Roderick
