I found this on autoblog, and just wow… Another reason to enjoy your iPhone!

“The world has gone iPhone crazy since Apple released v2.0 of its sleek mobile device, and while GPS and 3G have been big draws, the multitude of available software apps in the new App Store has been the real wild card. One app that has us really psyched is a new automotive performance meter called Dynolicious from BunsenTech. It uses the accelerometer inside the iPhone to let you record 0-10 through 0-100 times, quarter mile and trap speed, Lateral Gs, horsepower and more. Results are also displayed in real-time on the phone itself with graphs and a speedometer. You can also configure the tool with updates to your car, weight, before and after performance measurements, and keep a complete history of all your runs. The kicker is that you don’t even have to plug in your iPhone anywhere, just set it in the cup holder and drive. The folks at Dynolicious promise 0-60 accuracy to within .08 seconds and a quarter mile speed to within 1.5 mph. The performance meter software should also work with the iPod Touch.

The Dynolicious performance meter is now available on iTunes for $12.99 despite its own website saying that it’s coming soon. The app has an average rating of four stars out of five so far with 11 user reviews and counting. We’re going to purchase the software ASAP and take it for a spin, so we’ll let you know soon if it delivers on its lofty promises. Check out more screen shots of Dynolicious in the gallery below. Thanks for the tip, Fooman!”

Ok so with it being that accurate that should tickle your automotive funny bone! I know it does me!! I only wish I had one!!!

Anybody have the dynolicious application on their iPhone?? Drop us a line and let us know about this app and what you think about it!

Ok everyone, I made a post around two months ago titled “New Touchscreen Blackberry Thunder To Arrive As A Verizon Wireless Exclusive” Well, as I promised in that post I would keep you all updated on this new style of blackberry. I Found it on, where else but on Crackberry.com 

“The first pics and screenshots we have seen of the BlackBerry Thunder have been awesome, but it’s nice to finally have live hands-on photo evidence that the BlackBerry Thunder is REAL and it’s working (of course, only time will tell for sure just how well!). More details and another photo of the BlackBerry Thunder’s touchscreen after the jump!

Here’s a quick recap of the details we brought you last week on the Thunder’s touchscreen display:

• Tactile Response - when you press on the Thunder’s screen, it pushes in “just” a little bit (the whole screen is sort of like a big button) and you get immediate “real” feedback – you hear an audible clickety sound, and can feel a buzz in your finger where you actually pressed on the display.
• Full QWERTY and SureType entry - hold the phone in landscape mode and you can take advantage of a full-qwerty keypad. Use the phone in portrait mode and you can enter data on a SureType keyboard. You will be able to choose/change your screen/keyboard orientation at anytime. 
• Screen is made of glass and will feature multi-touch - the Thunder is said to be utilizing WebKit for it’s browser engine (same as the iPhone), so hopefully that means a solid web browsing experience for the Thunder.

I’m not sure whether these exact keyboard skins will make the Thunder’s final release version of OS 4.7, but from the images you can tell the user-experience RIM is going after here… they want typing on the Thunder to be EASY. That means a lot of screen real estate dedicated to the keyboard, which makes room for big keys that are easy to locate and tap. RIM is famous for the ‘BlackBerry Prayer’ position users assume when typing messages on their devices and it looks like that won’t change with the introduction of the touchscreen Thunder… you should be able to grip the device with both hands and pound out emails with both thumbs blazing.

The images also provide further confirmation that the Thunder’s operating system will still rely heavily on the BlackBerry menu button for key functions and advanced options vs putting all options on the main screen as the iPhone does. I’d assume hitting the menu key while on the Compose Message screens shown in these images should provide the standard BlackBerry menu options such as Send, Copy/Paste, Save Draft, Check Spelling, Attach file, etc.

After using an iPhone 3G for a couple of days, I’ll say this: while it’s pretty, it’s not very efficient at getting stuff done (ahem) lighting-quick. A touchscreen BlackBerry like this may just one-up the iPhone in that department because it’s based on the speedy and efficient BlackBerry OS while also getting the benefits of a gigantic touchscreen for browsing, reading and viewing media.

What do you think, does RIM have another winner on their hands?”

Well here you go! Straight from The crackberry site!! Whats your thoughts? Let us know!

What’s up everyone!!! It’s been a while since I’ve made a post and for that I apologize. I had a few things that I needed to handle that took up a lot of my time that have since been resolved, and I am getting back into the swing of things now…ANYWAYS………

As I am sure all of you are aware by now the 3G iPhone is launching on July 11th and I am sure that there will be a lot of people dumping there Gen 1 iPhone’s for the 3G.

I am hearing a lot of things now that I wanted to bring to your attention just in case you weren’t aware. I am hearing these all over the net and from other reliable sources, but as you know until the phone actually drops these could quite possibly be rumors and even if the are not they are obviously subject to change before the final launch.

1. The new iPhone’s will have GPS, but word on the net is that Apple’s SDK agreement prohibits the development of any turn-by-turn software for use on the iPhone.
2. The data plan for 3G will be $10 more expensive and will no longer include a bundle of text messages meaning you will have to add the data plan and a messaging plan.

For the die hard iPhone fans (and I know there are a ton of you) these will by no means stop you from rushing out and getting the new 3G iPhone.

Here is a quick breakdown of the pro’s and cons as I see them so far:

Pro’s:

1. Faster
2. Thinner
3. HALF THE PRICE
4. GPS
5. More storage capacity
6. Two colors to choose from on the 16GB model
7. MobileMe Push email, calendar, etc. (will be an extra monthly charge)

Con’s:

1. As of yet Apple SDK agreement prohibits software developers from developing turn-by-turn GPS programs for the iPhone.
2. Rate plans are a little more expensive.
