Thanks for the feedback.

I have no doubt that an iPhone/iPad version of flight-planning software would sell like hot cakes, but I doubt the developers would make any money from it. That makes it rather, well, unappealing.

SkyDemon will be launching its own range of hardware later this year. The first device is likely to be similar in size/performance to the Airbox Clarity, only with far more features, greater (and free) chart coverage and only about 2/3 of the price. The second device is likely to be a "basic" unit, priced around £150, with only safety-critical features that "just work" such as alerts. There probably will not be any route planning facilities on it, but chart coverage will be good. Both devices will be tested extensively on a nice sunny summer day to make sure they are readable.

This is all very subject to change, of course, but I hope you can see that this is a much more viable proposition for us than to invest a great deal of time and money on iPhone/iPad.

Tim. If you look at forums like Prune and Flyer you can see how much interest there is for navigational apps for the Iphone/pad.

When I go touring in my aircraft I want to take with me a computer that is user friendly, light and has a good battery life. The IPad does all this and more. At the moment while touring I can check my emails, check the Wx, check NOTAMS and file a flight plan all from my Ipad. The only thing I can not do is use your fantastic software on it !! :-(

Maybe the Iphone/pad is a fade and will go away but maybe it will not and if it does not someone will eventually produce navigational software as good as yours that can be used on the Iphone/pad.... then what? I for one would be very happy to pay extra to be able to use your software on Iphone/pad.

By the way it was great to meet you at Aero-expo in person.

All the best

Tony

Unless the development tools and/or Apple licensing story changes for iPad/iPhone, we will not be producing SkyDemon for that platform.

I think we've pretty much covered this topic now so this thread will be locked.
