Do you have figured out, which connectivity it use?
I mean SPI, USB or UART?

> >Which VGA Chip is used?

It will be very intersting for me because I search for one whch  can  be
connected directly to the 24bit RBGB  interface  of  the  microcntroller
through a switch.

OK, this is a standard Mini-PCIe one.

It seems, most GPS modules are too expensive...

I use the Maxim MAX2769 Chip and it is  connected  through  SPI  to  the
microcontoller and it just works!

Ehm, Mini-PCIe are for the mass-market and most On-Board Chips are  more
or less professional use and have in 99% of all cases more performance.

:-D

I think I have to experiment withit because my TabletPC shoud be Water-
and Dust-Proof.  Maybe I integrate the TouchScreen  into  the  topcover
of the TabetPC.

The problem is, to find the right one for the Display...

The biggets one are arround 19" (like my AUO TFT Display)

I do not even know the physical size of the iPad.  :-D
Apple won't give me a free sample for evaluating.  :-P

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
