This one is the one I was thinking met your request. $800 still pretty high but the touch screen has been test to 100m
I just took delivery on the idive...it currently connects to a low pressure port on a first stage and works with an ipad...I have it sitting here but have yet to get it in the water...hope to rectify that soon. Bill

Let us know how you like it.
Will do, planning on a vortex run soon but also wanting to take it for a rebreather dive to the park bench loaded with a real page turner (something like Joyce's Finnegans Wake). Actually we are going to try to do some real time underwater surveying of divers...have not yet worked it out for cave diving yet. Seems to me it would be an excellent tool for training and surveying along with biology counts Bill

Bill,
Is there any kind of audio output? And what was the delivery time?
Thanks.
Andy
Hi Andy, No audio that I can tell...it was announced last dema and I ordered it then...they had some tech issues in the development process and the first production batch was delivered about 2 weeks ago. I do not know about the status now,,,I was going to dema this week but had to cancel, I am sure they will be there. Bill

If you are interested in reading instead, there is a waterproof kindle paperwhite option for $239. Its supposed to be waterproof up to 210ft and its done without any casing so it should easily slide into a pocket. I haven't used it so I can't vouch for it but I'd love to get one.

There is also a waterproof shuffle for $140 to let you listen to music or a podcast during deco or the dive.
I have the waterproof Kindle Paperwhite. Unfortunately the touch screen does not work underwater. I have used it a couple of times in a habitat though.
