Default Sunlight readable Oudie - get yours upgraded!

I keep telling my friends asking for the software, that if they know how to
use at least 30% of CUm functions, keep using it!
Because most of functionalities in software are never used (think about a
wordprocessor). In flight, it is important the pilot know the sw,
and he has spent time to learn it .
So for 150$ I wouldnt suggest a friend to change software and mind, and the
Naviter offer is affordable and very reasonable all considered.

I have taken today some pictures of this new screen (ok I use V1, but it is
the same, and mine is also a prototype).
Well guys, night and day, night and day compared to old LCDs. Perfect in
the sun, just perfect in any light condition.

The pics from Naviter are not enough to describe the difference. Andrej make
some more, compared to other units!

Some comments on prices:

The new Oudie is $600. Includes power supply, and SeeYouMobile.

A BrightNav (or similar V1) is $300. Add a power supply, it's $365, with
XCSoar or LK8000. Smoking deal! But if you want SYM, then its another $239,
so the price ends up being about the same as a new Oudie at $604.

A Dell Streak is around $350 on Ebay, less if you want to play bidding games
with 12 year olds... Add a power supply, it's probably around $400 - and
you are limited to XCSoar. Great if you like XCSoar. Not so great (for now,
at least) if you prefer SYM or LK8000.

So we are talking about $200 difference here! (less if you already use SYM
and get a discount, by the way...).

Now if you feel you need bragging rights on having the latest processor and
OS in your cockpit, then your choice might be biased a bit.
