If you jailbreak your iPad, iTouch :(, or iPhone I have heard of screen extender applications. There are also an Android app(s) that do it do. I will have to get back on their names though. If you can get that far the next step would to just create a new view in FSX, drag it to be visible on the new monitor (your iPad or Android) and have it just focus on the FMC. What I don't know is if it had and touch intractability. :(

You don't need to jailbreak to get the functionality you speak of, there are numerous Apps on the App store that can be used to extend the Windows desktop to the iPad screen, "Air Display" is one example but not the best example as it doesn't work with FSX properly. Search the forum for "iPad" there is a very similar discussion going on at the moment in another post which has suggestions for other software to try.

I used Air Display for iPad which is a general app for creating a second desktop that you can dock different windows to - exactly like what you would do with a second monitor. I only used it with FS9 where it did work, however the problem is that the application has to be run in windowed mode and since I only fly in full screen mode it didn't quite work out. You use it over WiFi (a restriction imposed by Apple, not the developer of the app) which of course isn't the quickest way to send data. Then again, since it's an FMC and not a first person shooter I didn't consider it so much of an issue.Edit: Andy beat me to it!
