The spring is coming now!

Streak vs Altair in direct sunlight:

Both displays are doing very well, but it is very hard to make good
pictures. *It depends very much on the angle. *You can read both
displays very well in direct sunlight, but you might have to turn them
slightly.

The Streak turns into a mirror quickly in some sun angles, but you can
still focus your eyes on the screen (within limits). *At the same
angle, the Altair is not doing significantly better: instead of seeing
a small mirror image, you can see the sun spotlight all over the
screen, making it unreadable as a whole.

Looks pretty good. Is it really that much brighter than the 4700, or
is the back light off on the Ipaq?

thanks,

Mike
