“These electronic flight bags will replace flight manuals and deliver aeronautical navigation charts via an app. All pilots will have iPads by the end of the year.
The iPads feature the Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck app. Jeppesen is a unit of Boeing and has delivered flight plans, navigation and other data to pilots via paper.”
But how will they use them during take off and landing? :)

likely more to replace current paperwork where pilots review take off weight, top off fuel, review flight charts etc... though it could evolve into more sophisticated flight ops.
