I think right now the problem is the cost (high) and availability (low) of large enough Flash-based drives. But I'm sure that will change over the next year or so, and we'll start to see more and more solid state devices. @JoeN-

It seems like this would make an ideal candidate for an EFB (Electronic Flight Bag), but given the altitude restrictions of conventional hard drives, I would be interested in seeing how it would do with a solid state solution.

I have seen the device myself and taken it in the bright sun of South Texas. It is most definitely NOT "as good as a Motion", but it IS much better than the other UMPC's to date. We will also see a few more UMPC type devices with outdoor screens in 2007, but I gotta ask why not just consider a Motion LS800 or perhaps the new Fujitsu P1610? We have these devices and they are acceptable - to - great in direct sunlight, better in indirect sun. Is it a matter of price? Now, if your needs are for flight plans, may be this is of interest. Viewability in both direct and indirect sunlight is very good. http://tinyurl.com/hszwm and www.eflybook.com Hope this helps!
