Thanks for that Skyjob, I hadn't come across that brochure. It seems to me though that this is advertising a feature of their Class 3 EFB.

Even their Boeing Edge page for documents management points to the Jeppesen Document Management Service:

Boeing: Flight Services

Document Management Service - Jeppesen

So it appears that while Boeing have released an iPad apps that offer access to the 737 QRH and also maintenance ops manuals, there's no an app yet that provides a one-stop shop for direct access and automatic update of flight ops manuals:

So does this mean that the only way for a Boeing pilot to access manuals on an iPad today is to download them via MyBoeingFleet (or I guess leave it to the airline to figure out a way to "push" updates to people's iPads)?

I've also come across the Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro iPad app but again that enables company documents to be inserted in a "pull" rather than "push" manner:

Articles - Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro EFB Solution for Apple iPad Now Available for Airlines and Other Large Operators

The whole reason I find this strange is that Boeing broke ground on the iPad apps scene with their Interactive Quick Reference Handbook iPad app for which they have received FAA approval:

So you would have expected that they would have followed up with a more comprehensive flight ops manual suite vis-a-vis the FlySmart with Airbus Ops Library. However, it seems that there's no such iPad app to be seen yet! Surprising... If anyone knows any different then please enlighten us!
