Yes, I saw that a few days or a week ago. Looks great.

You realize that while you can write a program that uses it yourself,
you can't put it in the AppStore?

So you're limited to each user buying the iOS SDK (US$99/year) and
compiling the source code themselves (or at least codesigning a
precompiled library), or else running on a jailbroken iPhone.

Have Cambridge released the specifications to allow 3rd party software
to extract flight logs?

I actually wrote a Mac program to display CAI flight logs in my spare
time during the 1994 pre-worlds in Omarama. Dave Ellis was impressed
enough to *give* me a Model 10. But then I struggled for several years
trying to get the specs for downloading the logs. They simply wouldn't
release them. So I gave up. There's no point at all in having a Mac
program to display logs if you still need Windows/DOS to download
them.

Yeah, that was a long time ago now. Maybe things changed.
