Android Version please!

There are no suitable convertible laptops running windows that have GPS chips, and some of us HATE all things Iphone / Ipad / Apple...

Therefore Android please!

Note:

The Android operating system has the largest market share of any operating system for mobile phones.
Screens are bigger, and perfect to fit in confined cockpits!!

where is my Android app? I'm seriously thinking of getting Air Nav Pro for Android...

Seriously though, as it its now there's pretty much a void in the g market, so if that was to be filled by a quality app such a SD I'm pretty sure you would rack up millions... it's business 101.

I'll be waiting then...

Yes, I agrees with Hugh G-OIBM.

I have used SD (PC version) for one year now and think it is brilliant. I am an owner of two Android tabs (10.1" and 7") and I think
SD users that are waiting for SD Android version need some idea about the future plans. The total silence is not good.
I know pilots in Norway that have been waiting a very long period for SD-Android but have give it up for Air Nav Pro.

Today Android offer a huge number of different units: small, large, expensive, cheap and ruggedized that can be used in temperature below zero, etc, etc,
This will make SD even more attractive.

My plan is to wait one more year before I follow my friends decisions. That is because I really like SD. Good support and reliable software.
But I will never by an iPad. I have have too many apps that you cannot find on App Store. I like open systems. I will never be pushed towards any proprietary operating system.

So SD team, please let your fans know what your future plans are. If I just know I am willing to wait another 2-3 years. Probably more.
I am also willing to pay in advanced for an Android Version.

The number of replies and views of this thread is really speaking for it self.

Clear skies and tailwinds

Another vote for Android from me. I trialled SD on a friend's standard iPad (no 3G sim). On the ground in my office the system was great. In the air I was unable to get a GPS lock.

I have now successfully installed CyanogenMod 10 on my HP TouchPad. The GPS in the TouchPad seems not to be constrained by the same problems experienced with the non-3G iPads so I'm very keen to get SD installed. Then I just need the airstrip to dry out!!!

Tim,

A lot of folk are waiting for some guidance on an Android release - and I for one am waiting as this will decide if I buy an iPad mini or a cheaper and more flexible android device - the money I would save would easily cover the cost of my next SD annual subscription for eaxample!

It's about time some news was shared with your subscibers about the availability - or not - of an Android SD. If the answer is no - then at least we have some clear guidance.

Hugh

Regards



Hugh
