At our customary Monday morning coffee fest in my hangar this
AM (100 LL Java a specialty), one of the fellows brought in an
Ipad 3 with aviation apps and an ultrathin Logitech keyboard cover
which combined to overcome my buyers resistance.
My wife and I decided it was time to get a laptop with WiFi since
we are in each other's way a lot with our single desk top computer at
home. By shifting the problem statement to include aviation use
as well as alternate use at home, the shift from plain vanilla el
cheapo laptop to Ipad 3 plus keyboard became seamless.
So, before spending my money, I wanted to check with this group
for the latest advice on Ipad3 or is the dual core 4 worthwhile?)
configurations for aviation use. How much memory? (We
don't plan to use it for movies or a lot of photos).
Also want to confirm a review I read that the Ipad 3 has
appropriate stand alone GPS, gyros, and accelerometers to permit use
of aviation apps. One of the reviews showing comparisons
of various Ipads showed that Ipad 3 and 4 had GPS only in the 4 G
versions, but Australian 4G is different than US which created a flap
over here some time ago. I need to check to see if the 4G works
in Australia.
Open to suggestions, cautions, recommendations and such.
