Hi all



I think Skydemon Flight Planning and its integration with NOTAMS is an outstanding piece of software.



However, I'm amazed there are no plans to produce an iPad app for GPS on the grounds that Windows-based devices are dominant.



Half the world is going iPad crazy, Industry and even hospitals are using them. While I understand the desire to sell (and acknowledge the investment made in) dedicated GPS hardware, most of us who have already bought a Garmin or similar (my Aera cost £500 odd quid and has the worst interface I have ever used) will want to go down the same road again.



In contrast, most users of mobile equipment are buying iPads anyway for other things. It has be far the best screen and Apple GUI is still streets ahead of anything else.



Skydemon, please reconsider. I can't believe porting to an app would be the end of the world and you would, in my opinion, clean up.

Yes I guess it is a bucket load of development but it would sell far more if it was on Ipad. There is no credible European Ipad apps (and yes I have air nav pro) for flying and I guess an Ipad version of skydemon would sell by the bucketload in the states too. I agree that it is by far the best piece of hardware out there.



The only hope is that the forthcoming windows 8 tablets will be great. I tried it last week on a Fujitsu Q550 and it was awesome if you ignore the real lack of tablet support in windows 7. Once you are in Skydemon it is magic. I would still prefer it on an Ipad though as in Steve Jobs words "it would just work" where currently windows tablets crash and are slow and cumbersome in comparison.



I love Skydemon though whatever the hardware!!!!
