Earl - Backcountry Survival Tablet
This still isn't available, but it was interesting reading the updates. In all honesty, I wouldn't mind having a single device that would work as a portable transceiver and a GPS. That is what the Garmin RINO series is, but they don't seem to get very good reviews. Even a smartphone with Android that would work off network, like Nextel Direct Talk did, would be handy. It wouldn't have to have a lot of ouput power. I think Nextel Direct Talk was only 1/2 watt or so. Too bad Motorola and Garmin can't get together and make a DTR550/650 with Garmin GPS built in!
