A Great job in creating a version for the iPad, by listening to your customers and it looks good. Although ipad is a little large for a small cockpit.

I have a 7" Andriod tablet which is a good size in the cockpit. Not withstanding the development work required, lets have a poll of Skydemon users that have an Android Tablet, who would benefit the use of a great application.

Thanks

The 16GB 3G iPad Mini is £369. Unless you plan on filling it with videos, you won't get any benefit from the 32GB version.

The long and short of it is... if you want to run SD now in the cockpit on a 7" tablet, you've got no choice anyway!

Still a heck of a price difference just for a designer label item just to run SD (excellent though SD is!)

I despise apple products and all the hype and lock-in that it entails, as you may already be able to tell.

I just want an (ice cream sandwich or later) Android device to run SD on - and probably very little else. I like the idea that an Android device is cheap and cheerful enough to be used for a single application - i.e. it can just live in my flight bag.
I also like the idea that it wouldn't need the expense and hassle of a 3G connection - just GPS and WiFi built in!
Apple's continued insistence that GPS and 3G have to go together in the ipAd is just silly when more and more phones provide your wireless hotspot when you need it, with only one cellphone account required.

I despise apple products


I think despising something is a bit strong... A bit of perspective needed?!

Anyway, the price premium is £130 - an amount you will easily recover in future resale value. For that £130 extra you're getting access to a stable mature platform with a whole ecosystem of quality applications - especially aviation related stuff.
