Dan, said a combination of ipilot and a wireless PDA for weather would be the cat's meow. I checked this out at Oshkosh and as soon as my wireless contract runs out, I'm changing phones. You can now subscribe to my-cast for $9.95 per month or an annual fee of $99.95 and have animated color doppler radar, METARs, TAFs, movable weather map and route weather dipicted on your color cell phone.
http://my-cast.com/pilot/ What I saw at Oshkosh convincedme it was worth a hundred bucks a year to try it out. The screens are scaleable now so viewing the data was easy. It certainly would not be a tool to punch through cell openings but might be of value to you in making important weather decisions. Find a cell and follow it's movement, pan a weather page and get graphical depiction of flight conditions, ceilings, vis, wind, cloud cover, dew point. Just another tool to keep it between the buoys.
