I think then on balance we can say that the H3950 is the best model
for gliding at this stage and that HP would do us all a favour by
improving their displays for outside use. Perhaps a slider could be
offered to the user that adjusts the contrast at the expense of
colour accuracy? Perhaps this could be automatically changed by an
"ambient light brightness" sensor! (perhaps the infrared receiver
can do this now?).

It is not just glider pilots that care. Pocket-PCs are great for
in-car-voice-guided-navigation systems, too, as well as for general
use outdoors. HP also need to keep the display size large and fix
the inadequate audio volume to have a chance at this market.
