Here's my take on it:

--The concept is way cool...it holds tremendous promise to transform the iPad even further into a valuable work tool.

--This is version 1.0; it looks to me to be only a "test of concept", as it has only 4 airports in it's database....and none of them is MEM.

--It doesn't have access to any RAR/CRAR/COM/NAV/etc.

--It cost $19.99. Please don't waste 20 bucks on this one.



Version 1.1 is due out in a couple of weeks. It is supposed to have access to the worldwide database, all RAR stuff, and....to each individual airline's data. I know we are working very hard to get the price to be...FREE...and to insure access to all the LIDO data that "we" use. Remember...this is not a FDX product; we can't just tell them what to do and how to do it.



I'll let you know more info as I get it. We are all very interested in this concept.
