Does anyone make a handheld ballistics computer?

[Cogster1]

I know there are several companies with ballistics software, but do any of them make hardware? I read an article online about the army developing a mortar ballistics computer called the XM32. I couldn't determine if it included all rounds like .223 etc. Again, I have a list of software and I read several threads here that give some good reviews of different software. I'm just looking for an all in one product. Any info would be appreciated.

There is some PDA based software available. Here is one of them. You can even get a free 30 day trial download of it. If you don't have a PDA send me a PM. I just got a new one and have a HP IPAQ I am planning to sell.

Check out http://www.horusvision.com/
I have their software in a 5.11 wrist watch! Still learning the basics...

Thanks

That Horusvision seems pretty nice, Are the spotting marks typical for a long range scope? The reason I'm asking is I'm supposed to come up with 3 new product ideas. I'm just doing a little research to find out who makes what in regards to ballistics calculators and I'm going to try and come up with one of my ideas based on what I find out.

How about a small laser rangefinder with bluetooth datalink to any handheld PC or computer? that way you can pre-set your load and rifle data and get exact aiming info as soon as you lased the range, saving time from manual range input?

Just an idea, not sure if somebody makes such thing.
I bet such device will be useful to others than shooters as well.

I have the 5.11 watch as well, but I don't know if I'll ever use it. I just like the watch overall, and the other features are very nice.

Integrated

Max, that sounds like something that could be integrated into a good product. I don't have to have the "how" just the idea, so I'll include that in the overall product. Thanks.

Yeah you can download some ballistics programs for PDAs. Just search the net.
