I wonder how the product naming cycle went? I'm sure they knew there would be a backlash of cramping and bloating jokes. Does anyone think that the name will eventually be accepted or is the product doomed to fail because of it's name?

My guess is that Apple is betting on acceptance in the US market, and doesn't think there is a negative association in the global market.

In the mean time:

• The airport version - it has wings
• The 11" screen out next year - the Maxi
• The USGS has selected the device for use by Vulcanologists working in the field. A lightweight portable device is great for documenting those heavy flow days.
• A new modification to keep it from slipping - a simple adhesive strip on the back.

Jokes aside, I think it does have potential for a lowcost EFB. My FH and FOM (including Jepps) are available in PFD format. Add an app that does perf. wt & balance, reports, etc. I think it would be a much nicer form factor than a laptop.
