I use an iPad with Foreflight as a back up now for my iFly 720. I started using SkyRadar's D model ADS-b (pirep to follow). Foreflight said they have no plans to support SkyRadar products, so the iPad isn't used much now. It's too dim, has no new information, and the battery life is poor. It is a decent backup for the 720 if the sun isn't behind me. Mostly I leave the iPad off since getting the 720, however, if I had ADS-b on the iPad, it would be on a lot more.
Wing-X runs on both the iPad and Android platforms and it will display SkyRadar weather. So it looks like I'll be moving to Wing-X when my FF subscription expires. I am wondering if there is a sunlight readable Android. I'd prefer an iPad mini size and if possible, better battery life than the iPad. I am looking for recommendations, particularly from folks with experience.
