<div><pre>Has anyone considered anything like this for portable APRS:</pre><pre><a href="http://www.tradestead.com/wholesale-android-2-2-7-inch-touch-screen-tablet-pc-pda-mid-wide-camera_p12982.html">http://www.tradestead.com/wholesale-android-2-2-7-inch-touch-screen-tablet-pc-pda-mid-wide-camera_p12982.html</a></pre><pre>7" screen, 800 mhz processor, 256 mb ram, wifi, limited camera. </pre><pre>Actually maybe not that one, I don't see a microphone jack, but there are other cheap ones out there.</pre><pre>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.</pre><pre><br></pre><pre>Kevin</pre><pre>KB3PLX</pre><pre><br></pre></div> </div></body>
