I do all of my OSM work on my Acer Aspire One netbook. It's not a handheld, but it is small. I've never used it out in the field, but I do take it with me whenever I travel, then I can dump data from the GPS and do some OSM work when I'm in the hotel, or cafe or wherever. The screen is a limiting factor (1024x600 resolution) but JOSM is usable. I think it could be used 'out and about', but it would be awkward. A tablet would be easier to carry and use. To be honest though I prefer carrying the GPS ($150) and a (paper) notebook ($1) and pen ($1). Of course, you could get one of these: http://www.ikegps.com/prodLine1000.aspx Best wishes, Andrew _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
