Only limitations.

Dell Streak is not made anymore and there are no official os updates.
Ioio adaptor is not yet commercially available.
XCSoar is still undergoing rapid development which is not cool if you
want something realy stable so you can focus on flying not learning
new features on the pda.

But for

daylight readability
live wind data
flarm radar
responsive touch screen
modest power consumption
practical 5 inch size for panel real estate use
no bluetooth and simple power harness
works fine with internal gps

There is nothing to match it for the price budget. And the Streak
works great in the car at home and for cycling too.
