Next year we'll probably see android tablets running at 2 ghz with umpteen (that word passes my spelling checker so it must be legit) :-) gigabytes of storage.
Hey, if anyone comes up with cool PFD/MFD type displays that run on Android, definitely let me know about it! I'm very interested -- not so much yet in trying to get FlightGear to run on android, but getting maps or displays running on android that work in conjunction with FlightGear would be a very cool step. We are starting to see some decently looking 10" android tablets at prices ordinary people could begin to consider ... and these are probably the first things that can give the ipad a run for it's money. It will be really interesting to see what kind of tablets are available by Christmas, or this time next year. Curt.
