Aero-TV: SolidFX Paperless Solution - The FX10, Charts For Tomorrow

An Elegant Entry Into The Electronic Charting Market
Paper is dead... paper is passe... paper is so yesterday. So say those working on a number of intriguing but not always proven electronic charting solutions. Its a tough process -- combining the needs of pilots who have to work in some tough visual environments that are not always as friendly to such electronic solutions as one might think. While a number of interesting products have come to the market in recent months, one struck us as being the best we've seen so far... though with the price tag to prove it.
The SolidFX FX10 is based on iRex Digital Reader 1000S, can be used for reading e-books, newspapers and .pdf files, in addition to Jeppesen electronic charts. The full complement of Jeppesen electronic chart coverages, including a complete worldwide coverage, is available. All Jeppesen electronic chart subscriptions are updated every two weeks and updates can be downloaded from the Internet using the Jeppesen Software Update Manager (JSUM).
Jeppesens vector graphic electronic charts give pilots quick and easy access to approaches, standard instrument departures, standard terminal arrival routes and airport diagrams. Textual information is available using Jeppesens Text Viewer software and Jeppesen enroute charts are provided in their proven paper form for effective viewing of large areas.

[gocatschase]

Someone tell me what to do when after I've done away with the paper charts, this gizmo locks up on me like every computer I've ever used before when on an approach in our Pilatus to a busy airport like Memphis or Atlanta???

Is it 1595 or 15.95. Coz if it's 15.95 it would be more expensive not to get one. It coul actualy be 15.95 those ebook readers. Army that expensive.
