Yes Darryl, that is exactly what I am thinking. The PDA's shortcoming
(small dim screens) which derive from the concept of something that
fits in your pocket and runs on batteries is being replaced by ever
more powerful auto GPS devices with larger and brighter screens
running Windows CE. Andrej Kolar has indicated that at some point
SeeYou Mobile will run on some or all of these, but not when. There
will be positives and negatives to this. A positive will be low cost;
one nice example costs $200 with built-in GPS. However, getting an
approved IGC file out of it will probably never happen. The clearnav
and UP seem like really nice gear for those who have the money and the
panel space, but perhaps other options will become available.

Several of these devices you see coming out run Windows CE, from which
Windows Mobile is based. There is a fairly large market for Windows CE
based controllers/display nits for point of sale and similar
applications from which the ClearNav and presumably this one are
based. And leveraging existing technology is a good thing. Porting
Windows Mobile based applications like WinPilot and SeeYou Mobile to
these devices should be relatively easy.
