Steve Buddy,
Of course I know how much it cost, I'm in the aviation business, and the
reason we don't develop for CE is because the screens are crap. So if the
screen is crap on the new palm then we won't develop for it either.
As for the rest of your message, NOBODY ever mentioned FAA approval of
anything, it is clear to me you have not a clue about aviation or aviation
software.
Please, please say your a pilot, I'd love to give you a BFR!

I apologize to the rest of the Palm Development Form for this rant.
