Asus FonePad GPS Tablet

Apologies if this is not Aviationy enough - but I am selling my Asus FonePad tablet as it makes a pretty good "SkyDemon Appliance". I purchased it in July last year and it's been flying with me several times with no problems whatsoever. It's never overheated in my AA5.

It's a fairly low powered 7 inch form factor tablet running Android. The main feature it has is a micro SIM card slot and full GPS chipset, so it can be used as a standalone navigator. I ran SkyDemon on it and it never once lost signal in flight.

For data use, I use an "ovivo" SIM card which gives free data with no cost, you just have to look at some adverts every now and then. Ideal for something that's not in use all the time.

Full specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_fonepad-5329.php This is the 16Gb model. It can also be used as a phone, though you wouldn't catch me doing that!

The reason I'm selling is that I have an iPad that I use for pre-flight planning, and now that SkyDemon supports the iPhone, I use that inflight.

Comes with original box, charger and cable. Looking for £125.

The model you have linked to wasn't announced till Sept 2013 and available from Oct, but you bought yours in July?
Does yours have 4G as the one in your link?

Yikes, very well spotted. I didn't even know there was a FonePad 7. Thanks for that. I have corrected the link. You're right, mine doesn't have 4G.

Cheers
