availability.
Thanks

I have no recommendation for a phone, but I do have an iPad with the
Foreflight app loaded, and I absolutely love it. I won't go flying without
it. Check out all the features on their website.

iPhone.
I've made my iPhone 3GS a back up device and have the following Apps loaded
.
Some are free, others quite cheap really.
I loaded and use Memory Map with CAA Maps.
The App is free and the CAA Southern Map was =A39.99.
Memory Map supports all CAA 1:500,000 and 1: 250,000 Maps as well as French
Aviation Maps.
Aeroweather (Free and Full versions are available)
NOTAMS
Wind Meter
Altimeter
Horizon
Airspeed
iHeading
A 12V Socket is needed as these Apps tend to drain iPhone battery.
All in all it's a great device and these Apps are well worth loading.
Regards
Gerry

Steve.
I may not be the best person to advise as I have only had my Iphone for a
couple of weeks but I do like it a lot already. I previously had a Nokia
touchscreen phone and I consider the Iphone 4 to be much better. I have
followed Gerry's idea and loaded most of the Apps he recommended. So far I
can't fault it apart from it being somewhat expensive to buy. I did see that
the HTC Desire had very good reports also and that runs the Android
operating system which means you are not tied to Apple. Only drawback I saw
to that phone was that the battery life was not great.
All the Best.

I too recommend the iPad, however, I run ForeFlight on my iPhone as well
and with the GPS it works wonderfully. Very nice in a small cockpit.
BTW, if you have an iPad without 3G and GPS be sure and take a look at
Bad-elf.com. They have a chip which adds GPS to the iPad.
