HUD?

[Jamie Glendinning]

I've been lurking here for a while.
tested gaggle on my work phone but not confident in strapping the phone to my flight deck as there are no suitable fixing points!

may look at getting a xperia phone as that looks pretty good.

anyway...

you may have seen recon's mod live hud ski googles... which run android.

recon have announced an SDK http://www.reconinstruments.com/developer
it'll be available in may apparently.

it would be nice to see something like gaggle running on this hardware!
not sure how well suited a HUD would be for paragliding.
