Really cheap PNA - Binatone B.350. 

I run both XCSoar and LK8000, both installed on an SD card, and both
using the "disk.ini trick" to allow the Binatone, which runs Windows
Mobile 5 or 6 depending on the serial number of your device, to find and
start the program.

I do have details of how to install both programs in a few other types
of PNA on my website along with a reference to MioPocket, which is an
OSS tool for installing programs on a variety of PNAs:

Internal to the Binatone.

Nothing - the Binatone has no data out capability.

I power the Binatone off the glider's batteries via its mini-USB socket.
I use a mini switch-mode power supply to convert 12v to 5v at up to 1500
mA. The mini-PSU came out of an iPAQ cigar-lighter charging cable I got
real cheap in eBay.
