RE: PDA recommendation for running Mini-stumbler (maybe OT?)

["James, Jay" <jjames () idanalytics com>]

I bought a Nokia device especially for this purpose.
It wasn't stable and crashed frequently -- I figured it was because my son dropped it from 3 feet or so.
Fine, I give Nokia the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps a loose surface mount component... ok. Whatever, I get it.
Crash Crash Crash.

So I then bought another one. 
It wasn't stable enough either and crashed almost as frequently (I was obsessed about keeping Juniors hands off of it 
this time around).
Having 2 unstable Nokia devices are enough for me to perhaps inspire the pentester to think again about using even one.
If someone has better luck with this, then good for you! I am jealous, as I have spent untold hours on mine trying to 
get things to a point of stability.
As it is now, these are relegated to sitting on a shelf in the home lab. 
The shelf is labeled "The Junk Shelf". 

Spend and learn.

Try a Nokia N810 and run kismet, aircrack, dsniff, and metasploit  
instead.
