With these new small subnotebooks, not much larger than a BN, a version
of sendero might be worht thinking about.  You can get an ASUS EEE 900
from www.buy.com for less than $400.

I purchased The Windows version of "Atlas speaks" several years ago and
used it a great deal on my desk top computer no less.  
Although I think that putting GPS on a lap top would be a giant step
backwards, I do think that there might be a market for the limited
version to be put on a standard computer.  The name escapes me, but I am
thinking about the version that does not allow for GPS.  It would be for
those who would want to check out a route in vertual mode before or
after walking the route.

As for R and D on this, though, I think time might be better spent on
continuing development of the software on a cell phone.  
Now that is easily portable.  I think the price would be less than that
of a PDA plus the GPS software.
