Thanks,

Depends on what software you want to run? Certainly there are more
programs available for Android, however iGlide only runs on the iPhone
and makes the others look two decades dated.


Wow, that's pricey!!

OK, it's cheaper than the iPhone, let alone the glider. And I'm sure
the market is small and the developer needs to buy groceries...

Does it work only from the internal sensors (e.g. GPS), or can it
receive info from airspeed, heading, vario etc? If so, how?
