Arty, do you have a link to what you bought? A 2"x7" screen seems like it would be much better than my 4" Samsung Galaxy S phone.

One of them…
In general u can search for wondermedia… mine is WM8650 (WM stands for Wondermedia) You will find tooooooo much… Even in U.S.A.
It’s a crappy touchscreen not capacitive and the battery drains like hell… But it’s superb for reading books quick web surf Forum reading - posting and FALCON flying… charts debriefing maps Hell… u name it…
With a bit more money u can get capacitive screen… Also u can run VNC and have instruments … my future goal is to use them as the 2 MFD’s when Lightnings program will be ready and working.

Also check out the the new KDE-based “Spark” tablet that’s coming, it’s a truly open platform and will display all sorts of ebooks, pdf’s and mostly whatever you throw at it nicely (it’s a full-blown Linux system under the hood):
IMHO it’s the perfect platform for simgeeks.
All the best, Uwe

Good news, Red Dog has not only given permission to add the charts, but has also jumped on board the project! His contribution will surely help take it to the next level.
BTW does anyone know if there are any good (and preferably free) iOS development tools for the PC (excluding Flash CS5)?
-
LOL… Kosmo …
Can I jump in?
Yes 2: Hype, Visual tool HTML5 based, peace of cake to create such things, like power point… works on every browser every platform and second phoneGAP…
Now Free is a matter…
Hype is not…
Phone GAP is but if u want it as an app or to integrate other stuff than u must have xcode which is paid… also gap is multiplatform. -
i write it again…i would pay for an useful application like that…but it will also able to show images from mfd and control them trough touchscreen?if yes i will buy a second tablet immediately…
-
I tried phonegap to convert my interactive Korea map, but I can’t do an IOS app, I need a mac for that …

Well you won’t have to
but it will also able to show images from mfd and control them trough touchscreen?if yes i will buy a second tablet immediately….
No, that is not one of the goals for the app.

@Red:

why do that since u can access it from web?
I have a mac but I just unistalled xcode … lol I believe it’s needed to make an app with phonegap… I could give it a try if u want.
-
Kosmo any progress with the app? In which stage it’s now?
Can’t wait! lol -
Well the Korean nav data and charts are done, so are the normal procedures. Next step is to add Red Dog’s interactive map. I won’t have a lot of time during the next 10 days, but right now it seems that a first version could be available some time next month.
BTW how are we all doing on storage space? With the Korean charts added the install is around 12mb but it can be installed on the SD card. Since I’m planning to add nav data and charts for other theaters as well, the size will go up a lot.
-
Yeap SD card only I believe… this app could be our reference book (think about manuals maybe… like pdf reader as option for the user to import some custom lists - pages etc…) Or even better our Official kneemap App.
What Kosmo??? Customers are demanding…
LOLOh update your nvidia drivers… the new ones r ok… lol
-
space wont be an issue on my end. it could be 5gigs for all I care. Can’t wait for it. Much appreciation on my end for you doing this.

12MB is nothing. And SD cards are cheap.
-
Yea most phones come with 16-32GB SD cards now. Then again, I guess that depends on carrier & country.
-
As far as we have the option to install the app in SD card the size it’s not an issue. 2GB free in my device waiting for the app.
-
jep, 12MB is nothing on new android devices. I can’t wait for that tool and i know more waiting android users
-
Add me to the waiting list.

COOL
