Default Color Platforms for Top Hat/XCSoar

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.

Options seem to range from other mobile phones all the way up to the OpenVario project (at least for XCSoar). What works for you?

The 7" Streak works well - if you can find one. About the same brightness as the 5", but easier to read due to the size. I usually use the smaller Streak. These days I think color really is not much of an advantage. The real info is in the info boxes.
