BTW - here is some insight as to why there may be no rush to get Jeppview on the newest "iPad killer" Android tablets -

I agree that having an Ipad beats having to update Jepps. As for the news item above, that is simply the experience of one manufacturer (in the case Motorola). The one thing that appeals to me about android devices is that there are dozens of manufacturers of Android hardware. Hopefully soon it will reach a critical mass and there will be tons of great apps. I'm fairly confident that the time will come sooner rather than later. I have not met too many people who were thrilled by the idea of Apple telling them who their cell phone carrier had to be (back when Apple had an exclusive agreement for the IPhone with ATT). Right now, there are two phones being sold with the Apple OS from two carriers and the prices are locked down tight. There are dozens of phones with the Android OS (I don't own one unfortunately), and prices are competitive because of the number of phone manufacturers and carriers. I think that people will get comfortable with Android very quickly. Google (Android's owner) is already a household name, and I would venture to say that most Ipad users use Google for searching.
From the be all end all of internet truth...Wikipedia.
" As of June 2011
[update] Google said that 550,000 new Android devices were being activated every day
[109]—up from 400,000 per day two months earlier in May 2011 -and more than 100 million devices have been activated.
[15] Android hit 300,000 activations per day back in December 2010. In July 14, 2011 550,000 Android devices are now activated by Google each day with growth 4.4 percent per week"
I realize that these figures above are not mainly tablets, but you have some industry heavyweights invested in this OS (Samsung, Toshiba, HP, ASUS, Dell, and yes Motorola). Couple that with an open source concept that will allow developers to create apps without Apple's blessing, and I think things could get interesting. I remain optimistic.
imp: Unfortunately I will have to sell them at Apple's mandatory price. They control that pretty strictly. If you want to upgrade any of them, well......sorry, you take what you get.
