Don't know much about it, but from the first look my thoughts would be to get an iPad and Foreflight and you can do all that and more (weather, flight planning, AOPA directory, along with all the other apps, Internet, email, etc).... For the same price....

Probably can't get service airborne, though, right? So no in-cockpit wx to speak of.

Like? What are some of the apps? I was thinking of a iPad but not sure how the apps work. I got "Chart Case" from flight prep and bottom line at least for me is it sucks big time. Do not want to waste more money. So do you have a little more insight for the iPad?

I just got a Droid X phone and will leave my laptop at home this weekend when I go to Van's Homecoming. The app I am using right now is AirWX ($4.99) that gets METAR, TAF, Weather Graphics, Plates, Airport Diagrams... and probably more. No flight planning, but I subscribe to Weathermeister for that and it works well on the Droid.

I bought an iPad ( the version with GPS ) JUST to run SkyChartsPro ( www.skycharts.net ) on it after having a friend demo his to me. The application is great in that I’ll never have to by paper charts again, and it only costs $20 / YEAR for the app.
What skycharts gives you is a virtual stitching-together of all Sectionals, IFR Low, TAC and FLY charts plus A/FDs, SIDs, STARs, and Approach Plates.
For example, start in LA and skim your finger across the chart to scroll it until you’ve reached NY, it will look like one continuous chart. Also, you can tap your finger on airports you see on the sectional/ifr chart and it will pop up the AFD, SID,STAR, Plate selection menu for that selected airport. I couldn’t imagine going back again to a pile of charts/plate to make a long x-country.
One last feature I love - with the GPS enabled iPad there’s an airplane icon that moves along the big virtual sectional/ifr chart as you fly. Information on any airport along your flight path is just a tap away. In a nutshell, the iPad wasn’t cheap and I’m not really an Apple fan but I’m addicted to the convenience that it provides, not to mention I’m saving multiple dollars every cycle/plates of charts that I no longer have to buy on paper.
There’s a youtube demo on it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdl1mPODr_Y

Try Foreflight, I was a dedicated SkyChartsPro guy too, but converted. Actually I use them both but Foreflight has many more features and downloads the charts a lot faster. Youcan download Foreflight for free for the first month, then it is $75 per year or $8 per month. I subscribed for the summer to try it out and I'll probably re-up for the year.... I use it daily just for the radar!
