EFB On The iPad

Offered for free until they release it commercially on June first, GlobalNavSource has come up with EFB (“electronic flight bag”). EFB it's app for pilots that could easily be used by commercial airlines in the next couple years.
Included in the apps is approach vectors, flight lanes, detailed maps of airports and actively monitors thousands of weather stations throughout the US. Download all data and used during flight, not just for prep.

Available on the iPad, but i think is an app like this on a piece of consumer tech will be deemed the proper vector. The bright iPad screen could also be a hindrance to night vision (glowing or lit instruments are generally kept to a minimum during near-ground navigation), but that’s a matter for the pilots to work out in.
So what do you thinks?
