Has anyone seen the Oqo computer (www.oqo.com) so they know how good the
screen is in sunlight?

It's spendy at $1800, but it's Windows XP computer with a 5" VGA screen,
just about the ideal size for a glider. Physically, it's only slightly
larger than an Ipaq 38xx. Of course, the key feature is how well the
screen works in a sunlit cockpit, but if that's good, it's very intriguing.

It doesn't have a serial port, but with Bluetooth, wireless, and USB, it
might connect anyway, such as with a USB-serial adapter. With a 1 Ghz
processor and 20 Gb hard drive, it ought to be up to the task of running
glide software!
There may be a problem with the 20 GB drive operating at altitude, at
least at the altitudes we fly in the Sierras. I seem to remember that I
didn't buy a 1GB drive for my camera a couple of years ago as the specs
indicated it wouldn't work at higher altitudes.
