FWIW, the company has issued iPads to the flight crews for use as an EFB, to include weather gathering information (and we aren't the first to do it in an approved manner). With latest software updates and reasonable attention to detail, we haven't experienced any incidents of the sky falling or other safety-compromising events. Like a Jepp kit, one has to take care during the revision process and verify that charts are available prior to flight.
Frankly, I would be more concerned flying a highly automated, multi-computer driven, FBW, plastic aircraft than having an iPad in the cockpit. Mark me down as one "old guy" who likes the iPad, EFB concept.
