Hi Paul,

No pictures taken. You have to take my word for it. But both my friend (the happy Vertica owner) and myself (the quite happy Oudie owner) agreed. The sun was out but the sky was a bit hazy. The sun was still 2 hours from setting and I had both devices on a table in between us and the sun. But please read what I wrote: the software shell used in the Oudie is not very flexible when you want to alternate between both programs. The Vertica is easier to use. Yes you can make the choice as you describe but reversing to CU mobile is less simple. This would for me be the decisive factor to buy the Vertica if there would be a need to replace my Oudie. Both screens are perfect for use in the sun, certainly when compared to the PDA I was using before..
