Then I cannot help but wonder what motivates those people to buy a separate device instead of something like an Altair/LX9000 or similar devices?

Uh, cost? LX9000 is $5500, Oudie2 $650. That's a lot of tows!

I have an Oudie2 because I do NOT want to use my phone for navigation. And I like being able to take it home and practice with it, or experiment with different configurations, or update and checkout new data in the comfort of home.

Since I use an iPhone, I really don't care about Android's "cool features". I guess I've outgrown that phase...;^)

V2/GG/Oudie Lite + LK8000: $380. Even more tows.

Yup, cost makes sense. Especially if you add the fact that you can practice with a simulator more easily.

I always saw the remove-ability as a downside, since I thought it would affect the time needed to perform an emergency egress. I have also read about several
mishaps due to PDAs blocking the view to levers (especially in gliders with retractable engine).
