New version of Chrome OS that is coming out will run Android apps natively. You can pick those computers up for under $200.

You don't need cell service if you have wifi in the house... Just buy an older android or iphone (or better yet an ipod touch like someone else said. You can find them cheap on ebay or craigslist (a quick search found iphone 4's selling for around $50 and they are probably not the cheapest option). If you need to upload stuff to V&H you can just use wifi... if you don't have internet at the house you could even go to a local coffee shop or fast food joint that has free wifi and load the maps from their parking lot. It would be much less of a hastle than bothering with android emulation under windows or osx. I've spend more than $50 for cupholders.

Actually, save yourself a *lot* of trouble and simply buy a used, cheap Android phone off Craigslist. You can get them for about $25 and use it with bluetooth.

No need for it to even be an active phone. You'll never have to stop using your flip phone because the droid phone will literally do nothing by run your FP3 software.

Not too mention even the smallest, oldest droid will have more then enough memory to also handle your songs as well.

$25 all in. It'll be the best deal of your recent life.
