I could not agree more, I have yet to see any reason to replace my Ipaq'a for any of the current offerings.

I use an HP 3970 still running ppc2000 and it works faultlessly with xcsoar 6.1.2, the ipaq era is far from over.... there must be hundreds still out there working in gliders, running older versions of xcsoar, winpilot and seeyou. We should be targetting these users and converting them to xcsoar 6 rather then telling people they need 'new' hardware.. Glider pilots are afterall notoriously 'carefull' with their money ;) IPAQs are.. cheap, reliable, low power, have good cradles, all in all an excellent solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.
