Now the proud owner of a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. Well it's a Christmas pressie for the whole family. Great tablet though, and available for as little as £170 at the moment with the Samsung cashback. I'd still like a tablet for my own personal use (read: one that the kids can't mess around with) and am looking at Windows 8 devices, specifically the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2. For Skydemon use though, that's still a 10" tablet and that's big for the cockpit (it's still expensive too!). Can't help coming back to the earlier conclusion that 7" devices such as the Nexus 7 or Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 would be great cost effective units for SD! Edited 12/18/2012 2:34:24 PM by madgav

Still have ANP on my iPad but use it only rarely. When I swapped over to SD it was the time when AirNavPro started developing the Android version. Since then the frequency of updates has been lowered 3-4 times for iOS. SD for iOS runs perfectly! My 2 (€)cents, as I'm German :-) Eric

Group: Forum Members Posts: 24, Visits: 610	efrenken (19/12/2012) SD for iOS runs perfectly! Yes but the lowest cost ipad mini capable of running SD as a stand alone unit costs £400+, while suitable Android devices are already available for around £150, maybe less (I'm considering 7" devices by the way, although as I've found out you can have a 10" Galaxy Tab 2 for £170 at the moment). I'd rather spend the extra cash on more flying Add to that Apple's restrictive regime that many of us hate In addition my experience of i-devices is that far from what Apple fans tell us, they don't always "just work", but experience a similar degree of issues to any other similar devices. I'm sure SD are capable of continuing their excellent frequency of updates and customer service in general, even when supporting Android in addition to ipad/Windows/CE. A friend who is a software developer told me Android was a pain to develop apps for in comparison to IOS. He's an Apple fanboi though Edited 12/20/2012 11:10:00 AM by madgav
