[aprssig] Android Tablets

[Kevin Sherwood]

Has anyone considered anything like this for portable APRS:http://www.tradestead.com/wholesale-android-2-2-7-inch-touch-screen-tablet-pc-pda-mid-wide-camera_p12982.html7" screen, 800 mhz processor, 256 mb ram, wifi, limited camera. Actually maybe not that one, I don't see a microphone jack, but there are other cheap ones out there.Imagine the possibilities though - add a bluetooth serial interface to your APRS-ready rig, or use the audio jacks and a sound modem.  Mapping, messaging, on screen keyboard or Bluetooth keyboard.  Heck the camera's low res is optimized for the small size picutre messages that were discussed recently.
