What device to use with the InReach?
Hey, I used one of those in college!
And I upgraded my Dell Streak 5 to Android 2.3.7 via Cyanogen. Of course,
it's a do-it-yourself thing, you can't just go to a site and hit "Upgrade".

You might consider a Dell Streak 5. ~$200 on Ebay, excellent
sunlight readability and can connect via bluetooth. Also runs XCSoar
as a backup flight computer if you wish.
I like the idea of the good display, but I'm concerned it can't be updated
past version 2.2 (which was two years ago, I think), and might not be able
to run some useful apps in the near future.
Since the lack of responses suggests I'm the only that's not planning to
use a smartphone on the inReach, I'll look into those again. I rarely use
a mobile phone, but they seem to cost about the same iPad Touch and
similar Android devices, and I can get one that works with my prepaid
phone plan.
