Chip and I are pleading- a more advanced version of xplane remote will be amazing- full sized efis, fmc or a/p anyone?! Hurry, we'll buy. Dang it, I could buy six and have a full flight deck!

Windows is closed source, PARTS of OS X are closed source, all of x-plane is closed source. Closed source commercial development goes back forever.

What is new about the ipad/iphone is that it is a "closed ecosystem". Not only can you not get the code to other people's apps/OS, but you can't get your own code on without a gate keeper.

It's certainly different, and it's too soon to tell what is good and bad about it. More commentary on that some other time.

(anonymous, either you haven't spent anytime with OSX or you have a weird, personal definition of "mediocre")

It is another Apple closed source gimmick that Austin and you with develop for. This will force the apple community to think that they they MUST get one and spend hard cash on what is a mediocre platform..
