Those little palm-things are fine for smooth air.
Just wait until you really need it and are bouncing up and down and
sideways trying to hit a little box on the screen with the stylus.


...and Microsoft (PPC OS) software has no place on an airplane. Especially
with something as critical as an AI, even if it is used only as a backup.


Uh, I have a Pocket PC and it has never crashed in flight. I have used
it for over 500 hours of flying and have had ZERO issues. I use NavGPS
Pro ($179) http://www.gonavgps.com and it works great. The only issue
I have ever had is with satellite reception and that has occured with
my Lowrance Airmap as well. As for trying to use a stylus in flight
most of the Pocket PC based apps allow you to use the buttons and
joystick for changes.

Current setup is an iPaq 3650 with Compact Flash card GPS and CF
storage card.
