There has been an explosion of handheld technology in aviation. Handheld technology typically consists of using a Palm OS, Pocket PC or advanced mobile phones with special software to accomplish a variety of goals. For several hundred dollars, a pilot can now get a single device that can be used for any (or all) of the following: moving map, flight calculator, logbook, reference library, training aid, flight planner, weather tool and the list goes on.
This technology is growing and offers many advanced features to pilots of any level, see http://www.palmflying.com, a site I run that focuses on all aspects of handheld aviation.
As an aviation enthusiast, technology developer and part-time pilot, I am making the trip (on December 17th) to the Outer Banks of North Carolina (Kitty Hawk) to celebrate the monumental anniversary of the first powered flight and the accomplishments of the Wright Brothers. While there, I hope to reflect on where we started, where we have been and where we are going.
