Default Sectionals for PDA?

I'm just curious. My iPhone has a moving map application (Warning!
for entertainment only!) that displays my position on CURRENT FAA
sectionals. It allows caching several sectionals, limited by memory
capacity. Although I'm not even sure I'd have a use for it, I was
wondering if any of the PDA glide computer software guru's have looked
into incorporating sectionals.
Currently using XCSoar, and I always turn terrain OFF when flying, so
this is simply curiosity.

Not sure about other software but happened to run across this this
morning:
