Tablet for XCSOAR

My wife uses a Nexus 7 (2012 version) and it works just fine in the
Pipistrel. I used it a couple of times in my LAK-17a and it worked
just fine.

I have a Galaxy Tab - (it is so old it doesn't have a version number) - well being black and sitting in the sun is heating it up and making it shut down at the exact wrong times.

I like XCSOAR and I like a 7 inch screen - I like color - any suggestions?

I am thinking to get a white new Galaxy, but maybe there is something out there that works better. I also use it to keep occupied on my commute to work (retiring is not an option)

Same here, this side of the pond: I use a Nexus 7 also. Reasonably good
screen, clear, bright, even with sunglasses on (though we haven't seen a
lot of sun lately over here...grrr!)
Battery life is not bad for short flights too, though external power would
be a better option.

BTW, your forum is of way more interest: we're having to endure an
incredible amount of garbage on uras and urasb these days...
Regards to all.

Hmmmmmmmm...

I use Thunderbird as my email client and, just to see, I set up an
account on news.eternal-september.org and read it on Thunderbird. I
haven't seen any junk at all and, should I, I'll just set up some filters.

Give it a try!

I'd agree. I'm also using news.eternal-september.org as my news server,
but I don't think eternal september has anything to do with it being spam-
free - thats more to do with r.a.s, which IME has considerably less spam
and fewer trolls than most newsgroups.
