GCS available on iOS and/or Android Devices

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is less of a defect and more of a much needed and welcomed adaptation of 
the current GCS.  This idea is already in the market and proven with 
ImmersionRC's free iTelemetry app working in conjunction with their EZOSD 
onboard.  


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It would be very helpful to eliminate the need for carrying an entire laptop to 
the flying field only to run GCS.  With the miniaturization of many of the 
components used in this hobby it would only be fitting to be able to use the 
mobile device that many of carry on us already to view and record our flight 
telemetry, then easily upload to our main computer for archiving and sharing.  
This is much the like way most modern device ecosystems work.  Phones and other 
mobile device performance is beginning to outperform common to lower end 
laptops.  And most hobbyists aren't too willing to bring their big expensive 
laptops with them wherever they fly.  This creates a situation where one might 
need to purchase a second, cheaper laptop or netbook just to access the RV 
telemetry on the ground

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Although it has not been created (yet) the current HappyKillmore GCS software 
would render well on the large screen of most standard tablets.  When viewed on 
a phone it could be pared down to just vital info and minimal graphical 
overlays.  

Please provide any additional information below.
