best "pilot friendly" PDA?

[satpak77]

Can anyone recommend a good PDA for both pilot/aviation use and home use?

I recall seeing something about some that allow color radar (intellicast?) to be picked up in the cockpit, obviously this was aimed at the light airplane market, but still would be cool.

My work is picking up the tab, I just need to submit the model I want, needs to be $350-ish max

thanks

You may be thinking of the anywheremap system. It has datalink wx for an additonal $1200-the subscription is $49/ month. Great GPS with many fewatures you won't find on other handhelds. www.anywheremap.com

Garmin now has the IQ3600A. It is the same PDA they make for non-aviation, but they have preloaded aviation charts.

Is there an PDA that will allow you to surf the web and is also a MP3 player?

web surfing on a PDA is painful.

speeds can be OK, but the screen will annoy and blind you with the size...

got to see something quick?...OK..but to surf for more than a minute - keep lugging the laptop.

After looking at various Garmin GPS's, because I really wanted the 296,

it looks like I'm going to wait for a good look at the Raven product which uses the anywhere map software. Most interested in terrain, terrain avoidance, and XM weather capability.

How about the new Treo 650? Anyone had a chance to use this thing yet?

Most (all I think) Pocket Pc's are capible of this.
