Alas, the Beagle isn't available in the USA yet, and doesn't have a way to download data from a PC apparently, sadly. Perhaps the USA version will, if it is ever released here.
The Aakash sounds like a nice, reasonably priced tool as well. Certainly much better than a $400 USD – $500 USD model to me, since I really don't need a camera on a tablet PC anyway.
Might make a great tool for wargaming, for those PDF rules people are selling. Again, I want a way to download from the PC, since I can't afford a cell phone, or WiFi.
These seem perfect for the impoverished luddite like me, who can't afford cutting edge tech

I suspect there might be a few others out there like me, who are looking for a bargain too.
