I think the guys selling these devices are each buying components and

heard that it has become difficult for them to obtain some of the
components for the relatively small volumes needed.

In that case what we (all right, *I*) want is essentially the same kit
but running Android or a straight Debian Linux and I, for one would
appreciate a 4.2" screen as an alternative to the near-universal 5" one
due to the limited panel space in my Libelle.

Why? Because WinCE is now virtually extinct and dead as far as new PNAs
are concerned, and meanwhile both XCSoar and LK8000 5 have versions
running on Linux.
