Has Samsung, Apple, Dell, Kobo or Vertica ever exhibited at Aero or the SSA convention? It seems a lot of effort goes into avoiding the support of manufacturers of glider instruments.

For many years, Cambridge, Winpilot, and others used consumer PDAs to run their
flight software. So, using consumer devices began with soaring instrument
companies. Note that The iPhone is the hardware used by Air Avionics - a major
soaring instrument provider - for their iGlide soaring flight software.
