or some other flight computer program?

This should work with GPS_LOG WinCE including its internet position
reporting module. You would need to use Bluetooth GPS, or one on SD
card (Pharos makes one I think). As to display: ... it will stink, as
all other color displays.

It also uses a relatively small (though prolific) display at 3.5"
diagonal. All the favourite iPaqs (H38xx, H39xx, H5xxx) use a 3.8"
and the new hx47xx = 4" with a much higher resolution.

Interesting model, nonetheless. If only we could find a PPC that
works well in bright sunlight when we wear sunglass protection . . .

My gut feeling is that a gliding device should be simple and
preferably NOT complicated by choosing it to be a
"Swiss-army-knife".
