It could at least serve as a backup for the main gauges. The 'Airman' application could also store things like flight manuals, maps, and checklists as part of an EFB (electronic flight bag). Obviously more of a novelty item, as opposed to something you would solely rely upon in the cockpit. And sorry for taking this thread off-topic...
So haven't seen this one either http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/cumulus/ ?
