I can confirm that this very bright tablet (Tripltek) is fine at night - set iFly to night mode, swipe down at the top of the screen and the brightness control is prominent - set the brightness to what works for you. Worked great tonight in the air.

I think Tripltek has it beat. That's what I'll be ordering. If I thought I'd ever need to interface it with external autopilots or other gear, I might look into the connectivity more. For me it will just be a standalone device.

Yah, my dilemma is that I like to have it connected to the autopilot like my 740B....

The iFly tablet back is quite different from the TriplTek. The POGO PIN x24 docking connection in specific. THey do say that the serial "NMEA functionality coming soon as a software upgrade to the iFly EFB app". And "advanced autopilot integration and data communication, slated for release in the 1st quarter of 2024."

When I need to buy a tablet for the Woody's Pusher (open cockpit) I will take a closer look at the iFly tablet. I'd like to have autopilot so the wings will stay level while I take photos.
Perhaps someone will be able to compare the full sun readability of the iFly and TriplTek tablets before then ...

Well maybe it should be called: iFly 3Tek9 Looks like a nice unit , I will be on the list but maybe not this first round. I will need to shift some panel stuff around in order for the larger size to fit . I want to get a good grasp of the cradle mount , wire directions and etc before launching into a "minor" panel config arrangement. Also I want to acknowledge the visibility from where it will be installed. I would like to get hold of a cradle shortly to be able to use the cradle to fab couple panel overlays. also want to incorporate an angle adjust for the cradle and custom mount. AP, can I go ahead and order the cradle on this first offering?

I believe I m correct in that the serial wires as well as power will be exiting the cradle in the same bundle as all the rest according to the picture. ??

Hey guys, quick update on the iFly EFB Aviation Tablet: It's available on our store for preorder now.

I've added Specifications and FAQ tabs which have a bunch more info.

We will begin shipping the first batch in early October, anyone that preorders will get one of those. And of course you have our 30 day guarantee if you get it and it doesn't fit your need. If you wait til we're shipping and order, that's fine too - just might be another chunk of time before the 2nd batch comes in.

Feel free to continue your conversation about the TriplTek tablet on our forum, I'm not scared of a little competition ;-). And I'm curious how they compare.

Cheers,
Walter

There are two major uses of a tablet device: 1) an interactive iFly EFB display; 2) an interactive iFly EFB display that also can send out NMEA sentences to drive an autopilot. Is the competition you're speaking of just for #1? Or is Adventure Pilot going to support some third-party USB adapter in the near future that will make #2 possible for a tablet that's not yours, such as a TripleTek?

Is there a cut off date yet for getting in on the first order of ifly tripltec device.? Maybe AP should give it a name to eliminate the confusion or separate it from the "other" Tripltek device.

FYI: The iFly EFB Aviation Tablet will have a hard-wired method of transmitting NMEA data to an autopilot. We are also working on a wireless solution that would work for most other smart devices via bluetooth.

I was wondering about the mounting details,,, it does not appear to be a flush mount such as the Air Gizmos dock for the 740 is
