It must be getting cheap to do so. I listen to an ipod at work and will use the internet on it's tiny screen if in wifi range.
It's always nice to get NOAAs weather on the internet. It's very in depth and thorough, even though it's still so often wrong. We don't usually carry a computer onboard.
Having said this though Nat, I'm still using a Garmin 160(or something) black and white charplotter.
