No pictures taken. You may 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. Sunset was a good 2 hours away and I had both devices on a table in between us and the sun and looked at the screen from a 30 degree angle. 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 eg when you share your glider. 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.The Vertica does have the edge though. For the Oudie I would rate 9.5 out of 10 which is not bad.
