Correct, you get 2 devices on one platform (Android or iOS), a third device requires the $20 Multi upgrade. If your phone has Android 4.0 or higher, it should run on it.

Can't help you on the RAM mount working on both your tablets, but I suspect all you'd need is an adapter. I know the base and arm are universal. Hope this helps.

Ok, got the S 10.5 2 days ago and I can blame you guys. :)

Just discovered it has 9DOF sensors already built-in!!

So I wish iFly could use those internal sensors for it's AHRS functions.

(Had to turn off 'autocorrection.')

We definitely considered it, but then you'd have to make sure the screen is mounted/moving with the plane, not on a yoke or knee. Additionally you'd need to make sure it is aligned with the compass, etc. There is just to much to go wrong in order to use the tablets sensors for an accurate AHRS for flight.

It's on our wishlist to I'm sure we'll continue to look at it, but for know its just not safe or consistent to use the tablet sensors. I hope this helps.

That is funny!

iFly already cannot be used as primary flight navigation.

Just like every single instrument in a plane, every pilot must know how to use and how not to use an instrument, as well as the instrument's limitations.

So I would still like to have it. :)
