David, I've been impressed with the porting of QGIS to Android. I haven't fielded it at all, and have only tested it for my own interest, but it another viable option to your described use. I've been using it on a Toshiba Thrive Android Tablet.

I have been looking for a low cost open source tough light solution for data gathering in the field. My work for many years was in forestry and mineral exploration. I used arcpad in the past on a hardened ipaq ie able to with stand getting beat around a bit and with stand -40 - +40c rain snow ice mud real life stuff it held up well considering the abuse i put it though. My gis system at the time was Mapinfo/Grass with a postgresql back end. to hold points and other data and some GPS soft ware for data correction filtering. I would like to try to do this with a Raspberry, small screen, input device, Gps, possible a camera packaged in a tough case running Qgis. many areas i have worked are far from cell phone coverage some times 1000km so the cell thingy is not a option. i want a Linux response to Arcpad I would like to hear and thoughts or suggestions.
