Wireless radar

Anyone notice Furuno is now making a wireless radar? "1st Watch" 4kw - all it needs is power. It uses an iOS device for the display. I think this is the future. Everyone already travels with their smart phone that has the capability of running all kinds of apps. OK so you need a weatherproof display for the cockpit, but what about weatherproof cases, and use at the nav table? No need for ruggedized display inside, and you can save a lot of money. I like it.
