Now if only SeeYou, flyWithCE, Glide Navigator II, or someone (Dave)
would make an app for this.

At 9.71 inches, this device seems a bit large for a glider cockpit.
I'm not even sure if it would work as a full MFD, replacing all the
instruments, assuming it could be certified in that role.
OTOH, the screen display technology, if applied to a somewhat smaller
display in the 4 x 6 inch format range, looks great
for bright sun viewing.

No problem with a 10 inch display - as long as it's thin and light.

Make a mount with a hinge at the top so it can be flipped up. Put a
full glass cockpit/glide computer display on it. If it fails, flip it
up to reveal the old "steam gauges" underneath. Take it out for the
annual.

There was a PW5 pilot that had that with a monster hang glider
instrument on top of this regular instruments.

I preffer the mix of steam and high tech.

Beat me to the punch.

10 hrs of battery life they say. Plus a nice 9", seemingly bright
screen, USB, bluetooth for GPS connectivity (don't think it has one on
board), SD slot (I think) lightweight. $499 entry price. You could
just strap it to your leg instead of taking up panel space.

Get to work porting soaring software guys! First one there gets my
money.

$499 is the entry-level price. SeeYou Mobile is, what, $250 per copy?
Add another hundred or two for a bluetooth GPS and it looks pretty
good compared to a ClearNav or Ultimate - but we'll see.

Hmm Add another 900 for the igc logger you'll need for contest/badge/
olc, add another 200 for mounting hardware, another hundred or so for
extras you didn't think you needed, and ClearNav sounds to look cheap!
To say nothing of instant hardware support from the manufacturer, no
more hard reboots at the start gate or on the ridge and so forth.
