Ohhh goody, PDA software price wars!

Hi,

I agree that a large screen would be very nice. In my day job I sell
industrial automation equipment. Computer Dynamics has large 7 inch or 10
inch industrial computers that run Windows CE. They are cool, but the
current draw is much too high for use in a glider. I think we'll have to
wait a while yet. Also, they generally run on 24V so a power converter would
be required. That is not a huge obstacle though.

In my ideal world I'd like to see a single large flat panel screen smack
in
the middle of my panel with the various companies vying for who can write
the best program to use for displaying the various things you guys have
brought up. It holds all sorts of possibilites and with multiple windows
open would even mean that you could run programs from different
manufacturers on that same screen.

This nonsense of having to buy a latest and greatest hardware gizmo to go
with the software is crazy. One big screen would be much easier to
read....maybe I'm just getting too old to see the damn little things!
Maybe
they could even agree on a single box (hard drive?) to drive the thing as
well bringing it down to just the software competition.

Anyone know if the technology is currently good enough to make this work
i.e. flat screens wrt current drain, ease of use in high sun environments,
etc? I have no expertise in this whatsoever. Just dreamin'.
