I am putting the ipad 4 in landscape on the copilot yoke. In due course, an ipad mini (I hypothisize ipad mini 2 with retina screen within 6 months) on my yoke, replacing the iphone there now. WingX with SkyRadar on both iDevices. Maximum SA. Dan

ipad 4 twice as fast as ipad 3 m.techradar.com/news/mobile-computing/tablets/ipad-4-more-than-twice-as-fast-as-ipad-3-benchmarks-reveal-1108743

I've decided to go with iPad4 with data/internal GPS, or possibly iPad mini, (but I think that's better to wait on the retina screen when ipad mini2 comes out) and WingX / SkyRadar ADSb receiver. I wish I could have Anywhere Map with split screen ala WingX AND Western Hemisphere charts.. Oh well. Happy New Year to ALL. Dan

Not to worry. I don't think "that's what it sounds like" btw. Anyone have anything more useful? Comments on iPad 3 vs iPad 4 would be particularly appreciated. If I hear from Hilton Software I will report back. Thanks. "dryly spoken" Dan

I'm right there replacing an iPad 2 that "went missing." I have a sky radar adsb that provides gps via the same wifi connection that gives adsb in wx (my primary interest - sporadic traffic a nice plus) On a recent xc the sky radar unit reset itself (three times 11 hr flt) and for a period I was back to round dial for nav. I was flying IFR and recall thinking this would not be nice IMC. Does anyone know if an external Bluetooth gps might have avoided this problem? Can the non gps iPad accept a gps input from BOTH a wifi gps (SkyRadar) and an external BT gps? Ref HopePilot earlier, in my case SkyRadar isn't "rock solid" enough for me. That said, do you all have thoughts on iPad 3 vs iPad 4 and with or without the apple internal gps/cellular $130 penalty. Hilton Software (Wingx) suggested avoiding iPad 3 due to heat generation / temp shutdown issue. Lots of variables; thanks for any insights Dan
