Free flight computer software for iPad/iPhone

According to the LK8000 forum they are working on a Linux version, but not for the moment an Android version. Naviter have said that they are working on an Android version of SYM but without any indication of their timetable. I imagine that they have been concentrating instead on Oudie 3 and Oudie IGC and are more interested in selling hardware than software which has to compete with the free rivals. The various Oudie models are a superb solution at the moment - the bright 5 inch screen they share with the Avier/V2/GliderGuider family makes such a difference and I am not aware of any new Android device which has an equally good screen. IMO if you need to buy now these are the best devices. In another year who knows?

Butterfly and Winpilot are both opting for iOS. I think the iPhone is too small and the iPad mini too big for most glider cockpits - and I don't think they are as bright as the Oudie's et al.

The dedicated devices (LX9000 and Zeus) mostly seem to run on Linux. What about the Clearnav?

Yes, I know that and would be more than happy to run LK8000 on a
RaspberryPi provided I can find a suitable display. As a Libelle driver I
have quite heavily restricted panel space: a 4.3" display is just
possible, but a 5" display isn't and I've not seen a freestanding touch
screen that I could connect to an RPi in those sizes. Do you know of
anything like that or, better, something of similar size that runs Linux?
