Hi

Excuse the slightly off topic post, but there seems to be a lot of knowledge here about the above kinds of devices.

I am looking for a device to run the Pocket FMS software (http://www.pocketfms.com/). I currently run it either on a HP IPAQ 4700 PDA running Win Mobile, or a non branded PND running WinCE. It can also run on x86 Windows.

I am looking for a 5 to 7 inch sunlight readable display, with the most memory and fastest processor I can get, whilst being a light weight device - something that can still be attached using a suction mount to a windscreen.

The 4700 PDA is the best I have used so far, but the 4" screen is a bit small and it is very slow running the PocketFMS software.

Any help appretiated!

Just extending this to options considered:

Navigon 8410 - Runs PocketFMS quickly (600mhz cpu), bright screen, but expensive (£350 for a PND!) and low res - 480x272

A81 - does it run the software? Should be fast, Good res (800x480), Good size (7"), Cost ok (£200?), but poor review of IE performance worries me.

Thanks very much
Kevin
