Apple is rumored to have a smaller, 7" iPad in the works to compete
with the Kindle Fire which would make it more accomodating in the
cockpit for a nav aid than the 11" version.

iOS won't run XCSoar (or anything else).

I use an iPhone daily, but for cockpit use, I have and recommend the Dell Streak 5 (available for less than $200 on ebay). *Its transflective touchscreen improves sunlight-readability.

If you rwant 7", you have a variety of options among Android devices, *none of which have a transflective screen (to my knowledge).

I keep my Ipaq 310 as a backup (and for car-nagivation). *(It is tricky to power and charge and is no longer recommended.)

All these comments are helpful in decision-making, thanks. I take it
that the internal GPS in the Dell Streak 5 works well? Are there other
PDAs that compete favorably with the Dell that also have an internal
GPS?
