Has anyone experienced touchscreen problems with their iPAQ in heat?
Any

Yesterday with ground temperature at 90F I had great difficulty after
landing in selecting the ConnectMe program in Settings, then in
commanding various actions to download. I'd get things above and below
the item I wanted, or I'd see a shimmer when I pressed the on screen
button but would get no action. Today at 70F there's no problem at
all.

My iPAQ is a 3760, it doesn't have a screen protector, and the little
groove around the edge of the screen seems clean

All sorts of problems can happen in heat with iPAQs and the touch
screen becoming unresponsive or erratic is fairly common. The best way
to avoid this is to keep sunlight off the PDA while on the ground in
the heat and maybe leave the canopy open if safe to do so. A light
colored cloth covering over the PDA can help but the ultimate is the
Franklin fabrication Platinum canopy cap which keeps the whole cockpit
cool. Failing that replace the PDA.
