What color devices are pilots using for Top Hat/XCSoar? I'm running Top
Hat on a Kobo Glo (large eink gray scale--great readability) and a Dell
Streak 5 (smaller screen, color, acceptable readability). If the Dell
were a little brighter and larger, it would be perfect.

A Medion S.3747. It has a transreflective screen which is more readable
in bright sun than any of the purely backlit devices. It also has an 800
mAH removable battery.

It is a smaller screen - 3.5" - but that is a benefit if, like me, you
fly a glider with the panel inside under the nose fairing (Std Libelle in
my case) because this prevents anything from hanging out over the edge of
the panel. I'm actually running LK8000 rather than XCSoar, but that
doesn't affect this discussion.

IMO the S.3747 is worth grabbing if you can find one.
