A friend of mine made a nifty pictorial touch screen engine monitor using this play card deck mother board, common software,  Windows XP and a small touch screen.

One of many test layouts shown.  Basically a whole slew of sensors could be shown.  Touch on an system object and another window with more information could pop-up.    No reason all the pre start,  pre landing and/or emergency lists couldn't be put in there as well.

Might be able to do the same thing with an I-Pad.
Russ convinced me to use a product made from Weed tech to gather all sensor data and run it down to the cockpit via one RS-232 cable.

Lots of other things at Weeder Technologies that you will like.  PWM for instance.
