The best screens I have seen so far are the Altair (pre-production), the LX MiniMap and the LX8000. None of these can compete with the Streak. > The screen is quite shiny; can you see problems with this? You cannot read the screen where the (small) sun spotlight is reflected. But unlike the other screens I have seen so far, you can read the rest of the screen perfectly. And of course you can easily rotate the Streak in the mount to eliminate the spot. I have experimented with an anti-reflective foil (from FoliX). The hot-spots are gone with it, but I am not yet 100% sure if that is really an advantage in practice. > Do you have any idea about how much is the screen brightness (nit)? The numbers are not outstanding according to this chart (366 nits white): http://www.anandtech.com/show/3853/the-dell-streak-review/2 With a transflective display like the Streak's, the backlight brightness is not the primary factor, because it will take advantage of sunlight instead of fighting against it. Comparing a transflective display to a non-transflective display is useless based on nits numbers. You have to see it in real to judge. > Screen comparing to the Mio400 for example? I have never seen a Mio400. I found a datasheet on the net that says it also has a transflective display. The Mio's pixel resolution is lousy (only 480x272; Streak: 800x480). The rest of the Mio data sheet is not so good either: no GPU, an outdated CPU, small memory, no Bluetooth. Even my ancient hx4700 looks better (on paper)! The Mio hardware was already outdated when it left the factory. By the way, I wouldn't recommend buying new devices with Windows CE. Windows CE is dead, Android is the future. (or iOS for those who like to live in a gilded cage) > Have you already had a chance to try the device during flight? Yes, made 4 flights in bright sunlight on sunday. I'm still enthusiastic about the Streak.
