Hi!

I know that few times people were asking here about tablets, so sorry 
for my question;) - I need cheap tablet that would be good for working 
with qgis outdoor. Right now I bought good gps bluetooth receiver, so 
next could be a tablet. I'd rather buy sth with windows on board, as I 
will need use not only qgis but also some other windows software.

I don't have too much cash, so the most important thing would be - 1) 
working time on one battery, 2) size of screen - 6 or 7 inches. My 
typical job day - 8 or more hrs I walk through woodlands, I have to 
digitise my work as a layer, so for example - exact borders of tree 
stands, roads, borders of habitats - everything that can be visualize in 
gis etc.  I'm forester if that could be helpful for understanding my 
needs :) Probably I would use qgis more as a mobile viewer of all 
rasters and layers in qgs project. Right now I use my android smartphone 
for that (Oruxmaps) but I would like to make some edits outdoor - right 
now I have to do that after my jobday.

Thanks for any thoughts or recomendations.
