Largest arm based screen in hpc form factor?

I agree with needing a trnasflective screen for visibility. My 6651 has the brightest screen I've ever seen, so any contenders will be measured against it. I had a Pencentra but didn't like the bulk.

I plan to build sun hoods around whatever I ultimately choose. I do know touchscreens are essential so that rules out most non hpc/tablet gear. I want to avoid hdd devices at all cost.

If I choose to run different programs then my 6651 is suitable, and the more I look at Ozi explorer the better it appears. That leaves me running either the arm versions of Pocketfms or GPSDash on something else. I suppose my E200 will do for awhile, crappy tiny screen and all

If you think of another suitable candidate machine add to the thread. TY

wouldn't the simpad work with a serial GPS (so that maps can be on a CF)? i have no idea but it has a large screen, arm, etc...

I dunno if the Simpad has a serial port. But I have decided that I'm going strictly with CF gps cards. No wiring woes or harnesses or special order connectors. CF flash and CF gps, simple and foolproof?

Off-topic a bit, does anyone know of a free download for Pen-x for 95/98? I already have an Amity and it's light and powerful enough to run my programs of choice. I figure if I go with a hdd device at any time the Amity will do instead of me spending more $$$ an another Win tablet or laptop. But I shoud do a clean install and I have no idea where my disk with pen-x services is.

I wish I could remember the name of the tablet I saw on Ebay last year. Some off brand but arm power and 128mb ram, built in wifi and plenty of slots. Oh well, I didn't need it then.

Well, I'm settled then. My 6651 as my main nav tool and my E200 as a backup, with my Amity prepped and on standby. Maybe I'll move the Amity into the 2nd slot if I start feeling more comfortable with hdd devices in the air.

Does anyone know of the affects of altitude on a touch display? I can't imagine any problems flying below 18,000 feet.

Are you talking about CIC PenX? The OEM application
http://www.cic.com/

Yep, but they don't even list Pen-X at all, not even as disco'd. Mitsubishi has the same head in sand attitude. Hmmm, wayback machine. I've never tried there.

Fujitsu Siemens are another OEM client.

this might be that device you said you saw on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5219275929&category=3680&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1

seems to meet all your specifications and the price isnt bad either.

That looks nice. I would take that over the SimPad any day but is the ROM OS flashable? The Simpad (at Least t5he one I bought) Can be flashed CE 2000, CE 4.1, or Linux. No serial port though.

Errr, don't know how I missed the cic stuff.

That tablet is an updated version of what I saw IIRC. Weird, no bids and it ends tomorrow. Hmm, no shipping to Canada . I encounter that a lot

What oes everyone think? Other than indoor display only it seems like a great deal for a new item.

Yes it seems a very good price for what it is. I like how the cradle has all the keyboard and mouse and USB connections.

But considering your application, you might want to think about the size of this thing.

Hi beakman, SL4 has a serial port, a few actually. The one that is user accessible is the luxemberg connector through which we sync with the pc. You may need a female-female adapter to plug in other peripherals for D9 plugs.

Right you are! I wasn't thinking of the sync cable and besides, I'm going by memory as I'm on the road. It's at home where I use it as a multi-remote control (Remote Control II).

Oh you lucky man (or lady!)! ... my SL4 has a konked IrDA!! grrr

I agree, it's too large for the cockpit, but it'd make a great house unit. The vendor hasn't responded to my em either, not looking good

Nm. I now have a second 6651. My searching is over.
