I read this from today's Flyer flyer:



SkyDemon to launch as iPad App

Although SkyDemon developer Tim Dawson is remaining tight-lipped, it seems the company's flight planning and navigation software will be available on the iPad after all. FLYER spoke to Tim at The Flying Show, and while he wouldn't confirm anything, we did manage to get our hands on an iPad running a development version of SkyDemon, and very impressive it was too.



Is it true? It would be a good news!



Windows CE has no longer future. So I imagine you are working to move your software on other platforms.

I flew today, weather wasn't up to much but did a bit of general handling while I was up there. My mate brought his ipad and atttached it in the PA28 using  his RAM yoke mount. he was using memory map on it, The clarity of the screen in the bright sunlight was brilliant and that was looking at it from the left seat. But, the size of unit is massive and blocked out quite a few instruments ( he tried it in the left seat as well) and really got in the way.  Sd of course performed well on my 5 inch device but the ipad made it look tiny. A 7 inch ipad would be the ideal for me  with SD on it.

Absolutely Ikarus61 and nje. I can use an iPad when in the passenger seat (including airliners) and comfortably on the ground. I am yet to devise a practical and safe way of placing it in my cockpit so that it is comfortably visible, within reach yet out of the way of controls & instruments. Is it fair to relegate a Co-Pilot to minding it? I am no so sure. Perhaps after their approval, Apple may decide to contribute towards solving this cockpit ergonomic problem. As you stated nje, I find the optimal screen size of a Pilot-added GPS in the cockpit ranges between 5"-7".
