On the other hand, why waste 50 EUR for a 8 years old PDA on eBay (that will probably break next month), when the cheap Android phone you got with your contract can do the same? The Streak is just one of the "best" solutions, not the cheapest. Any cheap Android phone will easily outperform an old Windows PDA. No bug is left unfixed because we're doing Android. The Android port adds new possibilities, but it does not take something away. New loggers like the LX Nano come with a Bluetooth interface, you don't need an expensive adapter. Until Bluetooth is widely adopted in club gliders, anybody may choose to run the newest XCSoar on his ancient PDA. Although Windows CE is an obsolete operating system, we have no plans to drop it.
