Okay, so an idiotPad will have several "apps". You'll be able to calculate all those V-Speeds and fuel burn on it, display a plog, view the VFR Scottish half-mil, look up the AIP entry for EGPH and the associated Aerad charts, and it'll have GPS.
Actually, if it could do that it would be a very big advantage indeed. Using a consumer device that costs less than a 1000$ instead of a military grade pen tablet pc for 5000€ a piece (our current EFB solution) would be economically viable. However it does not even pack the required computing power so it won't be able to, too bad
