Default Using an iPad mini for soaring stuff

I'm hoping someone has easy answers for these operations, or I will have
to consider options other than the iPad, which could include a smaller,
lighter Windows laptop (or netbook) or Android tablet.


But this Apple is virus free ! How do you like the Phoenix?

At this point, I'd take the virus risk to be able to do something!
Almost everything I'm accustomed to doing is harder, and it's because
Apple abhors any file sharing except pictures, and doesn't use the most
basic memory devices in the world - SD cards and USB sticks. I'm still
blown away by this. I've even contacted Naviter and ClearNav about
getting flights into the SeeYou iPad app, and neither had a solution.

Don't have the Phoenix yet, but it's supposed to ship Dec 31, and arrive
in FL a couple weeks later. Jim Lee (the dealer) will have the glass
panel and soaring instruments installed, then register and test fly it,
so it's completely ready to fly away when I arrive. I will take the
included flight and maintenance training from him before heading West;
realistically, it will likely be mid-February before I'm on my way home
to Washington State.
