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

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 Wink

Add to that Apple's restrictive regime that many of us hate Tongue
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 BigGrin

Time for Humble pie! As an anti-Apple anorak, I had been holding out in the hope that SD would appear for Android. No immediate prospect was the message I got from Tim at the Flying Show so i decided to dig deep for an iPad mini (£369 for 16g vers with GPS). I have NOT been disappointed. The iPad version of SD is yet another great step forward which has to be tried to be appreciated. Even if the iPad had no other purpose it would be worth buying just for SD. On the other hand, if I didn't want it for SD I probably couldn't justify it in comparison to an Android tablet!

The size of the "mini" makes it a perfect knee pad in a small cockpit and that leads me to a suggestion for 2 extra taps down the right hand side (as per metar and taf tabs): the first is to provide rapid access to the scratch pad so that its easy to flip between it and the map, the second is to provide a Docs tap which would take you to a list of user loaded adobe type docs and so provide easy access to bespoke information such as check lists. ......... But of course you have to be an iPad SD user to appreciate these suggestions! What do others think?

There comes a time when you just have to swallow your pride and accept stuff .... This was definitely one of those and it has ended in a smile!
