Default EFBs

Need to get new efb's for our flight department, and wondering what suggestions people have.

From what I have found, my top choice is the Nav10 from Airgator, but they are going out of business since their owner died, and can't find this anywhere else.

Second choice is the fujituse t2020, my only concern is they are a bit bigger and harder to place in the cockpit.

Want MINIMAL wires in the cockpit, and need GPS and XM weather.

Any suggestions from anyone that has done the research?

Thanks in advance...

Fujitsu P1630. Built in wireless and bluetooth. Nice compact size. Slightly larger than a standard jepp plate with the extended battery and bump case.

I've got the P1610 and love it.

We have the AirGator units and we are completely satisfied. We just sent one off for upgrades last week and the service was great. Where did you here they were going out of business?

+1 for the Fujitsu Lifebook Tablet. We have two 1610s with add on GPS (Garmin 10X) and portable XM weather, both connected via bluetooth.

It's nice to have full computer functionality (Windows XP) in addition to EFB capabilities.
