I am happy someone is sticking it to XM. 

BTW backordered 1 month, probably longer after SNF.

I ordered one the first day of the show, so I'll do a report after I have it up and running. They said they would be shipping around April 23rd. 

Has anyone downloaded the Garmin App? I've heard mixed feelings from people who have seen the demo.

I have played with the Garmin app for a few hours. It is graphically pleasing and seems to do most if not all of the same things Foreflight does. I am more comfortable with Foreflight and there are many little things that both apps do that are just more  intuitive and faster responding in Foreflight. Basic items like selecting an airport to get the specifics in FF you just tap on the chart airport icon but in the Garmin app you have to touch and hold to bring up a Ring with multiple options such as info, direct  to, current weather icon etc... Unfortunately you really need to zoom in a bit to properly tap the airport graphic and the hold time required seems awkward vs the Tap on FF, especially when you miss the icon a bit and it asks if you want to add this spot as  a waypoint. So far I also prefer the graphical flight planning on FF better. All that being said for a fresh release it is a very strong flight app that takes its graphical cues from Garmins new touchscreen 650/750 products which I suspect will become more  and more ubiquitous over time.
