I read the Garmin announcement on my IPad, and don't think I or others will be replacing the IPad with this anytime soon. That said, I am a major 695/696 fan, and this may be more a 696 killer than an IPad killer. As you point out, the new 750 is light years ahead of the 530, and this new Garmin device shares the same screen technology as the 750, and is far better than the frustrating touch screen on the little Aera units. Right now, a 696 and electric attitude indicator is almost a complete avionics suite in a VFR helicopter for flying in the mountains, and I can't wait to see if this 796 obsoletes the 696.
What John, no G1000?
