I'm not understanding some of the objections... the iPad is a very cool piece of technology, and is really useful in flight beyond Jeppesons. Even somewhat silly things come in handy - like one of my favorite apps, a WB crew rest tool.

The iPad lets you capture screen shots instantly. I have a dozen from various pages in my manuals, like RWY length requirements in odd configs, the LHR constant descent charts, etc. These sit (for me) in a "777" collection; you can grab any of them instantly, rather than plowing through PERF pages and the like.

The iPads we got (AA) are technically company property, but you can have whatever apps on them you want. I'm obviously a huge fan. It has greatly simplified what was before an immense conglomeration of paper manuals.
