On my Android phone I run of course XCSoar.
A fully functional flight computer as a backup, not just a vario.
And my Moto Atrix is very readable in sunlight, even better than my
Ipaq310.
If I need to switch to the Atrix early in flight, I just plug it into
my USB outlet for power, to avoid the battery running out after 2-3
hours.
And finally, I like the larger 4' screen size on the Atrix.

*GPS based for those of use with pressureless NMEA sources or internal
GPS only.

Yes, I'm listening. I started working on that 2 weeks ago, but got
distracted by my Alps flying vacation ...

This is priceless. When I first got a PDA to connect to my Cambridge
302A, all I knew I wanted was something to display my known landable
spots, and indicate which I had in range. I got XCSoar, and it did so
much more useful stuff that it took me a couple years of using it to
think of something I'd like it to do, that it didn't already. Of
course I found out that it was already being developed. Yesterday Ramy
asks about an audio vario (for iPhone), I think about XCSoar (since I
know he uses it too), and of course, Max is already working on it.
