That's a fair point. I've not been in this as long as some -- I put a deposit on an IFD-440 in November of 2012 and upgraded that to a 540 in April of 2013.
I went back and checked, and since that November date I have received two unprompted communications from Avidyne.
The first was on July 24 of last year. It was from Patrick Herguth, and stated Avidyne's goal to have the 540 into certification in Q4 2014. To be fair, it did also say that the best way to keep abreast of developments was here on AvidyneLive.
The second was last week, announcing the iPad app (yay!!).
All things considered, I think a bit more proactive communication would probably be appreciated, but I did follow Patrick's advice to come here instead! :) I certainly appreciate Steve's efforts to keep us all up to date, and I think he strikes a good balance between candor and maintaining confidentiality of the company's information.
I wish I could be at Oshkosh this year.
