We shall see. VMware's products are bullet proof, and their players are free
of charge.
Concerning hardware, the problem with tablets is that they will be large in
screen.
Over 5 inches it becomes a problem for most pilots, not to mention
paragliding people.

What is the time schedule for releasing the 6.0 by the way?
So I can plan the release of my 2.0 (hehe).

There was a video of VMWARE running on an Android platform.

Found that video. It's a hypervisor which can run Android and Windows
CE in parallel. It's not technically "VMWare on Android", but rather
"Android on VMWare". The demo is already 1,5 years old, and I'm not
holding my breath for the real product.

For this to support LK8000 (or older XCSoar versions), a user needs to
buy a Windows CE license. And of course the VMWare license.

I guess buying a used Windows PDA is cheaper. And faster.

XCSoar 6.0 will be able run on a fully free operating system, with no
additional cost, and no rendering overhead. We will use blazingly
fast OpenGL rendering on Android.
