eTechLog - Chasm Jumper or Faller?

Recently, MyTravel Airways, an airline based in Manchester has adopted new technology in the Flight Deck. The Electronic Tech Log, or eTechLog has taken over from the paper based Technical Log. This is the Log that the Pilots and Engineers must legally fill in prior to and after each and every flight.
The eTechLog has just been approved for use by the CAA and MyTravel have adopted this technology just in time for the 2006 summer season. Where do you think the technology lies in the TALC? Is it at the Innovator or Early Adopter stage or has it jumped the chasm and made it to the Early Majority stage? If not, do you think it will manage to jump the chasm and become recognised technology in use with all airlines in the future. Click the link below to find out more information on the eTechLog.
