Just installed XC Soar on a Samsung Galaxy Tab. It was very easy! Good timing... RAM is introducing a mount for tablets. While the display is not as daylight readable as the ClearNav or similar, it's better than Oudie or similar. Although the case overall is smaller, the Tab screen size is about the same as an Altair but you have to contend with smears and fingerprints on the glossy touch screen. Perhaps a matte screen protector would help. With theRAM-B-SCMK RAP-B-201 RAM-B-238 this could be a very nice portable system. The Tab connects to your computer as two USB drives, the Micro SD card being the second one. Jim
>From a Max Kellermann post on RAS: XCSoar can be obtained for free from Google's Android Market (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.xcsoar) or from our web site (http://www.xcsoar.org/). After installing the software, copy your data files (maps, waypoints, airspaces) to the directory "XCSoarData" on the SD card, launch XCSoar, and configure the files (double-tap to open the menu, Config / Config / Setup System). Our manual has detailed instructions. The RAM tablet mount: http://www.ram-mount.com/NewProducts/ramadaptacradle/tabid/3616/Default.aspx
