I have thought about using my 7” asus tablet which is about as large as I
can hold in one hand. Its worth looking as Sexy Topo (an Android version of
PocketTopo).
But I still go back to my ruggedised version of the Fujitsu Siemans Pocket
Loox N560. An RPDA with IP65 protection, or semi rugged EDA version, Ebay from
about £20. The EDA needs some extra protection but thats not too hard to
do.
While these windows mobile PDA’s are so cheap, they seem to be the answer
until rugged tablets get to a sensible price.

I would agree that the 'hold in one hand' size of a PDA is a big
plus. You need to be able to cave with the device in your hand, and unless you
only survey large walking passages with flat floors you will appreciate
something that you can climb around the cave while holding in one hand. Also
makes packing the device for transportation through crawls and awkward entrance
series much easier. I am often surveying 3 hours from an entrance and having a
light weight compact kit means it always gets taken on exploration trips in case
we make a break through. So we often leave the cave with data on the trip where
a discovery was made.

I
have a asus vivo tab/not 8 tablet, which I just find too big for
cave
surveying, which I feel will be a problem with the one below. I
think
that you need to be able to hold it on one hand while caving, which
for
me makes a 6inch tablet probably the biggest, but I have not got
round
to buying one as yet.
The vivo although it has a wacom tablet
built in, I am not very
impressed with the accuracy, even after going
through the 100+ point
calibration, gone back to my dell
axim,
