The Streak can be had for around $200-250 (off contract, second hand - Dell stopped selling it), and the savings for the iPAQ are just not worth the extra hassle and unreliability resulting from its power management and charging problems. Besides, the screen is far superior (I have posted photos for comparison purposes). > - Is your PDA/PNA connected to a soaring flight computer? If so, is it a > cable connection or BlueTooth, or …? No, not a flight computer. The Streak GPS seems to be better than the iPAQ one, so a connection to an external GPS isn't as urgent. I am planning to connect it to a vario or sensor box that I hope to be buying. There, a cable for the Streak (see IOIO discussion) would be much appreciated, and I would be willing to pay around $50-70 for one. I don't trust Bluetooth. A cable or adapter box useful to me would have a serial port (for vario/sensor box/logger) on one end, and a USB port on the other (I have a USB socket in my panel). This way, the adapter would work for all or many Android devices rather than just the Streak. If need be, I'd build it myself, but savings would be limited given that it requires an IOIO, a level converter, a housing, etc. etc. - D ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
