Hi Richard,

I'm surprised an interested to see that you recommend Windows CE 6.0 for the
iPAQ hx4700. *My iPAQ 4700 is still running Mobile 2003. *Most iPAQ hx4700
units shipped with that operating system. *I upgraded it to Mobile 5 and it
was much, much slower. *So I "downgraded" it back to Mobile 2003. *Since
then I have purchased an iPAQ 210 with Mobile 6. *It has a processor of the
same speed and seems to be about the same speed or slightly slower than my
iPAQ 4700. That leads me to believe that Mobile 6 is not an upgrade I want
to do on my hx4700. *But that is a subjective speed estimation. *Have you
compared 2 hx4700 units (one with Mobile 2003 and one with Mobile 6) running
side by side? *I may upgrade to Mobile 6 is you say it is significantly
faster. *I'm curious.

Do you recommend Windows Mobile 6 or 6.1?

Thanks,

I am thinking of upgrading my PDA for my GNII.
The display should be readable in sun light. Presently I use a1550 as
primary with a 302 and the 39xx as a back up with a 302A. Maybe I
should get a CAI Nav display and one good PDA. Which one? Please make
recomendations.

Udo,

I have found the Ipaq 47xx is the best without the screen protector
for viewability and full backlight. *I also updated the 4700 *ROM to
Windows CE 6.0

ROM updates: * *http://wm6.flyingarizona.net/

Craggy Aero is also developing an instrument. Craggy Ultimate - Screen
Size 6.5 diagonal, sunlight viewable screen, with a backlight
controlled *by potentiometer or photo sensor, VGA 680X420 twice the
screen resolution as the ClearNav.

Initial flight test were very favorable, no viewability problems with
direct sunlight.

Paul,

I have tried all the ROMS and tested. I have found that I got no
improvement until I went to 6.0 and or 6.1. Mobile 5 was slower than
PC2003 and 6.0 and/or 6.1 appreared the best.
