I don't believe this is true (or there's a workaround) because Skycharts stays open on my 3GS.

The problem of course is getting the data to your airplane on a long cross country. 3G coverage in the air is horrible...especially during a cross country at altitudes most of us RVers like to fly (8K-12K).

That's right. The reason XM can get away with charging us $600/yr for weather is because they're providing the data delivery service, via satellite.

It can be done, I've done it with some success, but if I am not mistaken you need to be running iPhone OS 3.0 to be enable it through a hack.
Just do a google search and tons of how-to's will come up.
One thing is for certain, I've got my work cut out for me with the AviatorApps.com site.

I believe so, but if this isn't sufficient, please let developer technical support know.

The biggest hurdle that I've faced with approach plates so far has been trying to figure out how to handle content delivery. Using StoreKit seems like it might be beneficial, but I'm still responsible for actually providing the data, and NACO books are a pretty sizable amount of data. It pretty much requires the user to sit down on wifi and watch it download, without quitting the app.
I'd love if there were a way to sync that data via itunes somehow, but so far I just haven't seen it.

for tethering, no hack, you just download and install a network script. Be careful, don't blow up your usage or ATT will shut it down.....
It does need firmware 3.0 or 3.0.1

As soon as I saw the unit, I envisioned a complete Electronic Flight Bag based around it. I'd love to get Dan C. in on integrating WeatherMeister into a complete flight planning suite, with approved IFR and VFR charting, JEP approach plates, an external WAAS GPS reciever and XM antenna (through the dock connector should be doable).
Anyone used the iPhone/iPod SDK?

Yes, I've spent a fair amount of time working with it.

GPS / Aviation add-ons
I got an ipod touch a few months ago and have been looking for an add on GPS. This one looks interesting http://gpscradle.dualav.com/cradle.html but I'm not finding any aviation GPS apps out there.
Is there anything? I'm also drooling over the ipad so hopefully this is related.
