What's interesting though, is the integrated Chart-Database with
LCD screens on either side of the cockpit !
I think this is "just" the weather radar.
I'm afraid you're wrong (I was referring to the latter image) - this
seems actually like an airbus version of Jeppensen's electronic
FlightBag - simply not relying on an external notebook anymore, but
rather connected to the systems of the aircraft.
Check airbus.com for it: it's supposed to enable the flight deck crew
to easily display/use charts without the need to look them up in the
big paper thing - which will still be available as a backup, though.
Also, it's supposed to display a profile view (layered) ON the charts
to improve situation awareness.
