Wow, cool idea. A netbook, small, light in weight, flash memory so no power sucking hard drive motors. Fewer drains on battery means long times between recharge. Fast processing power. All the power of a full operating system, with all the usual apps. Drop in one of those extra authorized keys for speech technology that I already have for the desktop. Put on a shoulder strap, or streamlined cary pouch. Plus there's that route making tool that was announced recently for users of the 2010 products. How much more would have to be done to it to pick up the bluetooth link to the reciever, and process in real time? I'm thinking, not much but I'm not the software engineer.
Using mainstream technology for price benefit, and plugging in accessibility. What a concept.

I am hoping for a pc based sendero as well. With a netbook coming in at 2.3 pounds, and at the size of an apex, why not? With windows 7 voice recognition capability, you might be able to talk to your gps as well, and for less than $300 in hardware to boot. Add a bluetooth Braille display, and you still are thousands of dollars under the cost of a money sucking proprietary machine.
