IOIO board for SN10 to Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Yeah... But my big brother can beat up your big brother...

Each of these HW/SW systems has its advantages and disadvantages when
compared to the others. Each of us has his own concept of what works
best for him and what doesn't. Why not simply tell the pluses and
minuses of your system and not waste everyone's time by hammering all
the things you don't use? Note: This is not intended as an attack on
any one person but a comment on years of reading RAS.

Thanks for replying. I think some of that is a bit like saying the Porsche 911 is unchanged in 50 years. I always use fingers not stylus on SYM without difficulty, find zoom and pan easy, and by the way Oudie now has connectivity using bluetooth via a phone. The SYM UI works really well for frequent tasks like task entry which is slicker than XCS. Each to their own.

I would not want to be on the Oudie side of the debate table when debating any aspect of software, hardware or especially innovation potential. ;-). The Oudie is a cheap (and wildly overpriced), old product in my opinion. Sure, it does "work" and it does have integration solutions (Goddard cables, etc, also quite overpriced in my opinion) for most (also outdated usually) soaring electronics. What can I say, I have one too.

I still use an SN10 for example. Not the fountain of youth either but it works very well for everything except the infamous HAT task.

When it comes to affordable, innovative tech in the cockpit (once smartphones are fully allowed to shine) smartphones will be truly revolutionary for their simplicity and capability. That time is already here for non US contest flying. In fact it is quite painful to have to literally DISABLE my smartphone for a contest flight.

I agree, to each their own. I think be going a little further (building the IO board, etc) I will have a lot more fun soaring and learn a lot along the way...

Go flying!
