responsibility
if you would have responded to emails and atleast picked up the phone and advised me of your position it would have been atleast somewhat different but you acted in a manner which was not acceptable.
I can only mention the FACTS of what happened, I even had to ask the liquidator for information.

helicopternews - you clearly have an emotional problem which is affecting your ability to think logically. Once a company goes into administration, its directors have nothing more to do with the running of that organisation - it's under the control of the administrators. So if your requests were ignored, your beef is with the administrators, not the old directors.
Liquidation is the final bit of process if a company doesn't survive administration and often doesn't happen for 18 months.
With respect, I think you're the one who needs to get the facts right and stop venting your ignorant frustration on PPRuNe.

What I can't effect is the market place. Advertising revenue is tough but since September 2010 we were invited by Adobe to be on the pre release programme on there iPad publishing software. Due to our editorial and LOOPTV angle we were the only aviation publisher in the world to be invited.
Since then we have been working on developing our apps and today we remain as the only aviation publisher in the world to have magazines that are built specifically for the iPad rather than PDF page turner efforts that are just the same as print versions.
We are blazing a trail and to date we've had over 40,000 downloads of our apps and the growth over the last week since we went on Newsstand with LOOP and BLADES has been incredible. We have had a ten fold increase.

MS - there are several threads on PPRuNe about iPads and their suitability as a nav aid. The iPad 3 is expected to be released (in the US) next month, but if you're only planning on using one for reading/surfing and maybe running nav apps, it might be worth waiting a few months and buying the current iPad 2 with 16gb. Prices are already dropping and will tumble once the 3 hits the streets :-)
PS you don't need 3G to use GPS

212man - which bits do you need expansion on? The only reason you might need 3G is to download the maps; if the maps are already installed on your device however, then there is no need for a 3G connection (or any other mobile connection); the device just needs to be visible to the satellites

The issue is that the wifi-only version of the iPad2 has no internal GPS, so if you want to use it for satnav you either have to tether it to your iPhone (which passes GPS data to it from its internal GPS) or buy a GPS dongle to plug in or bluetooth to the iPad.
Haven't tried it yet myself.

As an aside I am using Flymap on a 3 G IPad. I don't use a SIM card but didn't want a second box for GPS
The GPS is amazing. I have used it the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere and it has never dropped out. Position acquisition is under 15 seconds
The Flymap app needs some upgrades such as waypoint input and chart movement but for just over 100 pounds it beats the pants off Garmin

The issue sizes are not down to compression sizes of pics but it is something that Adobe are working on. At home i have just 1.5mb download speeds but i still managed to download the latest issue last night in 20 miniutes. At our office we have upto 70MB downloads and like a virgin on his first bunk up it's all over in a matter of seconds!
It's the video and interactivity that pushes the size up. But it's the video and interactivity that really makes the App so good. It makes the whole App much more entertaining and is well worth the wait.
