I'm not hearing of ANY must have items introduced this year. Seems
like a bit of a down year for new products.

new products.

This OSH was primarily about the tablet. Ipad was a clear winner over the Android obviously.

That's what I got out of it too. It's "everything ipad" basically.
The software apps are all over the place and capabilities abound. WingX and their new air data and ahrs integration turns an ipad into a full low-end efis that could compete with some of the systems we've been used to.
Foreflight integrating to avionics and flight-plan-sharing. It's just amazing to see. For a vfr only airplane you could have some pretty cheap avionics with an ipad and you can now get ads-b wx, XM wx, ads-b traffic and all that stuff on your ipad.
For those who got the Seattle avionics voyager software years ago like I did, it's sounding like it shouldnt be terribly long until I can use my lifetime data subscription on an ipad app by them, so that's good.
Some may remember in my cabo write-up that my ONLY real complaint left in-flight with wing-x was that you couldn't zoom-to-TAC view. I was flying over Phoenix and had to switch to foreflight to see the TAC view for the vfr corridors. Well, Wingx silently fixed that months ago....I went there to complain and when I tried it, it worked. So these companies are listening and things are improving.
But yeah, there wasn't much new and exciting outside of the ipad world.

I thought the new boxes introduced by Avidyne were pretty
cool--especially for people looking for upgrades. Their IFD540 is a
touch-screen gps/nav/comm that's a plug-and-play direct replacement for
a Garmin GNS530. Someone with a 530 who's thinking about upgrading to
the new Garmin GTN750 will have to re-do their stack. The Avidyne unit
will slide right into the 530 tray.
The AMX240 is an audio-panel that will directly replace a GMA340 or
PSA8000. It adds bluetooth, music & cell phone inputs, flexible split
modes and a replay function.
The AXP340 transponder replaces a KT76A or KT78A and adds ADS-B extended
squitter.
And their DFC90 autopilot replaces an stec55x and adds envelope
protection and a save-my-ass button.
I played around with the IFD540 for a while and to me it was
considerably more intuitive to use than the 530 (I haven't looked at a
GTN750 yet). They had a killer deal at OSH, 50% off, but I didn't bite.
