Want To Get Your Ride Dynoed? Got An iPhone?(evil grin)

Monday, August 4th, 2008

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!”

Which Smartphone Do You Use?

Monday, March 31st, 2008

There are many different smartphones on the market these days, some of the major ones would be the Treo, Blackberry, and the iPhone.

Below are the Blackberry 8800 and the Treo 700p:

The Blackberry and Treo have always been the tried and true business phones for Corporate America. Which of these two you would choose would all depend on your taste. I have owned both a Treo and a Blackberry and must say I would personally choose the Blackberry out of the two based on usability. I enjoyed the touch screen on the Treo and if you choose the one that is Palm based there are a ton of aftermarket apps that you can download to the phone, but the features and usability of the Blackberry far exceeded my love of the touchscreen and add-on apps.

Enter the iPhone:

The iPhone entered the market by storm and has a massive fan base. The phone was not initially received by the Corporate world as a possible replacement to the Blackberry or Treo, but those seas may change with features that are being added to the iPhone that can make it a viable competitor to the Blackberry and Treo. More information on this is available at the Gartner website.

I must say after handling an iPhone I am very impressed. The only thing keeping me from running out and buying one is the keyboard and the rumors of a new 3G model becoming available soon.

These are just a few of the smartphones on the market today…there are many, many other smartphones out there.

My question to you is which one do you use and why?
