When I discovered that FX8 is a rebranded ereader, the myth of a special device developed for aviation went down. On its web site, they claim that FX8 has been tested in a rapid decompression up to 51000ft… well, that is what DR-800 supports, and since it’s a “normal” ereader, I’m sure m92 will handle an altitude of 10000ft, which is what I’m asking for.
If I’m not wrong, iRex won’t develop any more devices, so the guys from FX8 will have to move on. I have been asking them if the chart app will be brought to a newer device (no answer yet).
If the team who developed the m92 previously worked for iRex, seams that the natural device to bring the app will be the m92, and only minor adjustments will have to be done (i.e. readjust the screen size). But I guess any other linux based device will suffice.

Well, 2 or 3 strikes of the stylus isn’t a major handicap in some parts of the flight, since the workload can be less than driving a car on a highway, but in other parts, using one button or one strike to go back would mark the difference. Going back to normal means the default zoom? Does the default zoom crop pdf margins? Is it possible to set the default zoom? Can please someone confirm this?
