http://rdd.me/ryoliosm I doesn't matter how 'smart' our gadgets are
if you can't read the damn screens with a quick glance. Qualcom's
Mirasol display looks like a magazine cover in direct sunlight.

Beautiful technology always available one year in future...
Watch the projected-delay graph ;-)

And at 1/10th the power requirements. Important for gliders but this
will also really impact battery life for everything from laptops,
tablets to cell phones.

I hate to break it to you guys, but there is a gorgeous sunlight
readable display on the market, the clear-nav. SN10 is pretty easy to
read too, but offers less stuff on the screen, which Dave might argue
is an advantage. No need to wait...

The Dell Streak 5 is only $200-$400 and has a great sun readable
display.

$150

Unfortunately sold out, but once there's another cheap offer, get one
quickly while you can!

The Dell Streak Mini is still the best cockpit device you can get
currently. It takes advantage of the sunlight (transflective screen)
instead of trying to beat the sun.

Max,
Does the Streak support connecting to the modern varios to get data? (Sorry if I'm being stupid).

There might be better choice out the
http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-gal...view-02192592/

the Samsung Galaxy Player with 5" TFT display, GPS and Wi-Fi for
around $250 is a really good find. It also has reasonable power
consumption and 2.5 AH battery. It also has a newer Android version
than the Dell.

Best set up i've ever used is the SeeYou Oudie linked to an LNAV, can not
beat it, Fairly cheap and does the same job as an LX9000! It is so easy to
use, 5mins is enough for the average person!

Does the Oudie set the current destination into the LNAV ?
Is the Oudie using any winds or TAS info from the LNAV ?
