O-cha · 07-29-2008, 12:00 AM

I was wondering how long it would take for this to be made.

jpsimon · 07-29-2008, 12:01 AM

jpsimon · 07-29-2008, 12:01 AM

Hunter399 · 07-29-2008, 12:08 AM

Im going to buy it as well

jpsimon · 07-29-2008, 12:14 AM

ehh i'm too tired to go test it right now. Just poking around the app it is pretty damn sweet... the g-meter is kickass (just waving the phone around seeing the meter work in real time). i'll let you guys know how it works in the car, in the morning

e92phreak · 07-29-2008, 12:15 AM

read some of the reviews on the App Store. Some limitations... but it's a 1.02 version. There will be updates.

AU335 · 07-29-2008, 12:17 AM

subscribed. Looks really cool, but i just wonder if it really works. Let us know as soon as you test it.

Yes, I read the front page of http://www.dynolicious.com and I know it uses the accelerator instead of the GPS.

G37KILR · 07-29-2008, 12:34 AM

it wont work with the 1st generation iphones?

Ryan@Motorwerks · 07-29-2008, 12:35 AM

hopefully they will soon come out with an app that utilizes the gps to get the measurements rather than just the accelerometer in the iphone. I kind of doubt how accurate it will be because you need to position it correctly, and iphone accelerometer probably isn't that accurate to begin with...

the iphone accelerometer is extremely accurate actually.

but that aside, GPS functionality would be great. i'm sure itll come with an update at some point

1 more reason to get the new 3g iphone over the new blackberry... tough decision...

coco_m3 · 07-29-2008, 12:39 AM

it will work with the old iPhones as long as you update it to 2.0 software.
