Apple is rumored to have a smaller, 7" iPad in the works to compete with the Kindle Fire which would make it more accomodating in the cockpit for a nav aid than the 11" version. (There may also be a touch- screen in development with realistic tactile feel from a company in Sweden). Anyone have an opinion as to whether to wait until a smaller iPad is available? There was a discussion awhile back that the Kindle pixel refresh on a moving map is too slow. Is this an issue with the iPad? Alternatively, what's the best smartphone or PDA (with internal GPS) available now; the Dell Streak 5? Dell Streak 5 has been outstanding for me this season running XC Soar 6.3x. I keep my oudie (sunlight readable version) in the pocket to be honest. My next choice would be my phone (droid bionic). The interface for the SeeYou software is just painful once you try XC Soar (modern interface, modern device). |
