Default SeeYou for Android!

Unfortunately I have not had the pleasure yet to see a Dell Streak in the sun yet. Would love to compare. If it is only the same as Oudie 2 then it is already great.

I don't know what is "a lot" of energy. Oudie 2 (the latest production run) is consuming between 170 and 220 mA at 12V or 2-2.5W if you like. Which is not exactly a lot imho. It's certainly not a problem.

Let's please not make it a flame war. Android has its problems and its advantages, Oudie 2 likewise. Pilots have a choice and that's a good thing.

Regards,
Andrej Kolar

Getting SeeYou Mobile to run on Android is popular demand, especially these days. But please do consider Dan's comment below about the visibilty. I would also add that I would think twice before I would mount my main smartphone into the cockpit. The second most repaired item on Oudie is the USB plug because people bump into the plug with their knees all the time. It's not a big deal on Oudie. It's relatively strong, easily replaceable and not very critical (charging would normally still work). I wouldn't want to break it on my phone..




Long story short. It looks like we will have to do SeeYou Mobile for Android even if there really isn't a device which we could recommend whole heartedly.




Many may disagree, but there is nothing that beats the good old Windows CE based Oudie 2 in the sunny glider cockpit today. It's exactly the right size, perfectly bright enough, all neccessary cables are packed right into the package and it comes preloaded with software which is useful for beginners and world champions alike. You can literally turn it on and fly.




Sincerely,


Andrej Kolar

It comes hand in hand with SeeYou 5 which enables you to upload your flights comfortably to the SeeYou Cloud.




There's too much news to cover it all here. Please visit the totally renovatedwww.Naviter.com- Phones welcome!




If you happen to be in Utrecht, Holland or Beauchevain, Belgium this weekend please stop by. We'll demo it for you in person

Can we expect to see See You Mobile for android some time in the future. Has anyone tried a tablet such as the Samsung Galaxy in the cockpit?




Oudie 2 is not as visible as Dell Streak 5 with good anti glare. Also

Oudie 2 is very power hungry. I see plenty of Android devices in

cockpits running XCSoar.
