If it works properly its another reason to get the Iphone!

The accelorometer is built into it. You wont get that with your other fancy smancy phones!
Lots more phones will have them soon enough, anyways. Anything that can tell if you're holding "portrait" or "landscape" has one in it. Most digital cameras do. So as more phones with cameras and web browsing abilities come out, they'll have 'em too.

I still like my BlackBerry 8800. Real keyboard, fast typing, RIM service, SD card slot, open software, removable/replaceable battery, and a true GPS reciever. And no camera, so I can bring it to work.

During the testing calibrations were done (hence the reason for testing at the track). Some tweeks still need to be made, but on average, a variance of .2 over a number of runs. So it does work quite well. We compared the software to the tracks as well as each others along with some of the brand name units out there ranging from $300-500. The software should hopefully be out by the end of the month.

Is that like a RIM job?


I love the Microsoft push mail on my Apache. It is amazing how fast the email gets to your phone. I have tested and it's almost as soon as I hit send in some cases.

Push Email FTW!!!

That mini has been so beat on. It's got over 100k miles and has seen many different types of racing from auto cross to limerock to drag. The owner is going to buy a new one and strip this one for racing only.
