FWIW: You can now export flight plans created on line with SkyVector to DYNON SkyView as reported in this GA News article.

Now, if we can use an iPhone and connect to the WiFi on SV, and just transfer the flight plan file directly...?

Like can be done with FltPlanGO? See reply #4 and 5 in this thread:

Remember that SkyVector is a web site, not an app, so it doesn't work without an active internet connection, so it's not as much an in-aircraft application. Which also leaves it with some challenges in writing to an in-airplane network device.

Yes, but an iPhone can get to a website from a great many places, as long as you have coverage and data roaming. I wouldn't use it for in-aircraft in-flight stuff, but from a hotel room the night before, build a flight plan, save it and then upload it via WiFi the next a.m....? Hmmmm....
