It would be great to have a PDA with a 640x480 screen and GSM (and battery life more than 10 mins...)
It may be closer than you think. The nice guys at
NavBox have a version under development for the Pocket PC.
So how about an XDA that is a phone, does your weight and balance, Flight Plan, list of en-route frequencies and PLOG and plugs into a GPS to give you a moving map display?
Or an Ipaq with the NavMan GPS sleeve that does everyhting except the phone in one unit?
NOTAM and Weather are a little further off. Getting 214/215's from the Met Office site is simple enough and it should not be overly difficult to devise a website that would take Flight Plan input and produce the NOTAM. If the CAA could be persuaded to get a standard interface on the AIS site then software manufacturers could design to work with it.
