There has been stability problems with XCSoar running on
Android in Dell Streak phone. When I started to look at flight computers for more serious XC flying, I was scared away from IPAQs because of battery and SW disappearing problems. At that time Oudie was very expensive and not sunlight readable IMO, and all Windows CE platforms had very poor display resolution. So I purchased LG phone running Android. I damaged it a little during outlanding, but I still use it sometimes. I have never had any SW problems with it DELL Streak still has the best display in practice, but it took some time for me to get it working well. The operating system needs to be updated, and it is difficult to do, since no more support from DELL. For me the wireless data communication is very important. I want that my position can be seen by others at home online, and I appreciate possibility to upload flights to OLC (& Skylines). I still feel that the loading XCSoar updates from Google Play store is amazingly simple. Maybe the most important for me is the possibility to charge the phone using IOIO card, and at the same time use it for serial communication with several devices, like FLARMs and loggers, variometers, and beeing able to define the task and loading it to several devices easily. I believe that these open source SW project have caused major improvement to the gliding SW in general. The commercial SW developers are surely following the development intensively, and copying the best parts into their product. |
