Personally, I'll pick up and use mine when they come to the Airbus fleet. FAR better than the POS EFBs in some of the non-EOW A319s ... my experience has also been that they remain functional only a small portion of the time. I carry my own iPad for personal use, so I'll keep my photos, music, donkey porn, etc, on that and off the work device. I've successfully kept track of an iPad or laptop for the last several years on the road, so I don't see how this will be any different.
All this talk of "tracking" bothers me the most. You all realize you can disable location services or, you know, turn it off?
