Yes - but I'm thinking about a package that lets you view a bunch of charts
(and send updates)


I expect most PDAs to be capable of displaying the existing Terminal
Procedures Publications (TPPs). They're distributed as PDFs so you
can easily convert them to whatever you need. Adobe even provides a
PDF viewer for Palm Pilots.

(Yes, I realize that something more aviation-specific is probably
desired.)

and possibly geo-reference charts so you can "fly on
them".


I'm curious how you even imagine these plates could be georeferenced.
They're often not close depictions of reality.
