I also use skycharts, and no visibility issues on the iPhone, but the iPad is a larger area which might (?) mean less visibility. I am hoping it is as visible as the iPhone, in which case I could use it for all sorts of stuff, but primarily as the monitor for my wing camera, provided I can run the software on it...

Apps
Is the skychart the only iPhone app for aviation?
Maybe there are other apps that could be developed...
A check list would be neat.

I can't justify the monthly cost of iphone service, but I'd be interested in the ipod touch or ipad application. Has anyone added a gps to an ipod touch & used this software in flight? Would you consider it a reasonable replacement for a dedicated aviation gps? Does the software include a database of all airports (including private), waypoints, etc, that appear on the charts?
Thanks,

I do consulting for vendors that make these devices:
Soon (<9 months) there will be a zillion android competitors to the iPad on the market, some with 3G some just with wifi. Some with an LCD some with eink (which might be better for approach plates).

iPad iPad iPad... love it!
picked up my iPad in the morning and had to cut my hangar time short to get my hands on it... love it! the web experience is just spectacular and photos are displayed more real than real. i have loaded up my construction photo library and am finding all sorts of ways to use it when traveling by air.
as a bonus it renders my website perfectly formatted for the display.

Stephen, how is it in direct sunlight? If it's good then it may be a really good EFB. Thanks

Not good in sunlight
I love my new IPad, but it's not good in sunlight, and has a surface with a lot of glare. i don't think it will work as an EFB. Otherwise, it's great. It really is. The interface works wonderfully.
