I'm unclear on what WxWorx can provide other than the weather,

If you get the WxWorx premium map package and plug a USB gps into the
tablet pc, you get a very useful moving map with METARs, TAFs, cloud
tops, winds aloft, lightning strikes and NEXRAD. Fabulous.

Or, we could just bag the whole thing right now and land when we
encounter questionable conditions,


I used to do that. I'd sure hate to go back to flying weather-blind.

I'm not sure how much improved the GPS
functions of a PDA-based system would be, or whether in-flight weather
is worth the investment at this point.


I'm sure you can guess what my recommendation would be.
