can you run apps like skyview on this pad and if so does it have a 3d gyroscope that can tell in all directions which way it is pointing ?

I'm not personally familiar with Skyview, but I believe it does have a 3d that will till directions. I've not had this pad for a long time so I'm going from memory.

No this does not. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the "Thinkpad Yoga" has that pointing device. This is the "Ideapad Yoga"

ABSOLUTELY YES! I have one and it works great! Makes sure you get the firmware when you download it updated relating to the Sky Pro and if you use Forelfight update that software as well. It will also work on maps as well so if you want to use it while walking about town it will do that nicely. Just make sure you have the map you want to use downloaded to your ipad first. I use it in my jet as well and it works fantastic there too! Software is free to download. Also, before you use it each time turn on the Sky Pro software first because this uses its software to link to whatever you are using. It also works on Jeppesen software as well. The little thing is a fantastic unit. It automatically seeks out ipads and shows how many it has locked onto. Make sure in the ipads General section the Spy Pro is recognized under Bluetooth! Once it recognizes it once it will be automatic going forward unless you have it removed, reformat your ipad or possibly remove the software.

Yeah, it works well. I have used it for overhead, vertical, and horizontal. So far the only complaint I have is the sensitivity settings. It almost works too fast.

I can't answer your whole question but I can tell you what I know about a some of the Celestron products you mentioned. The sky sync GPS does not align it just enters time and location so you don't have to, the Skysync can also be used together with other accessories like Starsense for example. The Star Sense Autobalign will read the stars automatically so you don't have to do an alignment manually. The SkyQ Link will enter your time and location via your mobile device and then you can use your mobile device (iPad) to control you telescope, however you will have to align your scope first and the current model does not work with the Starsense accessory.

Oh, sorry I aanswered for the eadar detector. No the dashboard magic mounting pad is awesome. Works great!

The DDO3 has a more advanced gyro system in it which makes it great for beginners all the way up to advanced 3d pilots such as myself. Out of the box its extremely stable

I'm not sure about GPS, but all the Windows 8 convertibles have accelerometers, because otherwise it would be lot less useful in Tablet mode.

No, this laptop does not have a touch-capable screen. You navigate Android 4.0 using the mouse pad just as you would navigate Windows or Mac OS on a conventional laptop. The integration of a cursor into Android works pretty well for most tasks once you get used to it (learning how to select things by doing a "long click" was a big help for me), but the lack of touchscreen and gyroscope sensor does limit your ability to use some apps. I downloaded a racing game I couldn't play because the laptop doesn't have a gyro sensor, for example.

Unfortunately, no. It only does scrolling up and down. Not even left to right. We ended up getting an Apple Magic Mouse because I think once you hit that price range other mice will support the touch gestures as well.

I have to turn off the two fluorescent tubes behind me to get full range of sensing. in the vertical plane. It will work in ordinary light but it is IR and any heat sources can swamp the sensors causing false readings. The movement range is set using a profile editor (the default one is pretty good to start with). There are profiles for many of the games that support the device, but I can't comment on their usefulness as I don't play them. It works for me in Elite dangerous (excellent) and X-Plane (also excellent). I find that the sense of immersion in the game is tremendously improved.

It has GPS, but most people found the software implementation to be seriously lacking. It takes a while to update your position. I've read that this has been fixed in the FroYo pre-release that was leaked, though, so it may be better once the official release hits in September.

Not this one. I have an older Sky Scan that does, unfortunately this one doesn't.

the wifi TouchPad uses Google services to substitute for GPS. The 4g/3g touchpad will have true GPS

Yes, the track pad operates like a mouse in windows 8. Plus the track pad supports all the windows 8 gestures you would want it to: Swipe from left, right and top. 3 and 4 finger swipes. 2 finger zoom, rotate, scroll horizontal and vertical. Plus it just acts like a track pad. One extra feature, when you rotate your tablet with the keyboard attached the track pad rotates too, so it is easy to use while in portrait mode.

Not that I know of. The Kindle doesn't have gyros the way an i-Pad or i-Phone does.. does it?

Add to my previous answer, the motion sensor is adjustable in all directions to aim at the angle you'd like
