There's nothing wrong with the Nexus 7; but remember that it is an

Android operating system, and a LOT of people still use soaring

I don't think I could find room for a 7 inch screen in my cockpit. A 5 inch very bright screen seems like the optimum to me (or maybe a 5.6 inch screen as on the LX9000 - but then your panel has to be designed around it!).

I am hoping that Father Christmas will bring me a Nexus 7, but I am not planning to use it in the cockpit.
