Some of you might remember when I posted that I went to the track with a friend who designed some software for apple. Well the software is out and it's already been reviewed by autoblog.com This application can run on either iphone or itouch. Bonus- cheep to download.

ahh... where is Jeff to poop on this???

 

For the $ it's a load of fun and does do what it should do quite well.

 

someone mentioned it on the iphone thread

reading that thread.. .looks like it is a little shaky if your car doesn't have a smooth idle

 

If you purchase a mount it works quite well. We used a windshield mount, similar to a GPS's.

 

I'm totally downloading this once I upgrade to the 2.x firmware, then I'll have to find an abandoned road somewhere

 

kenta, are you going to give up the jailbreak and restore your ipod so that you can upgrade to 2.0? I got it onto roses ipod last night and i have to say all the benefits of the jailbreak apple has surpassed with the apps they have now.

 

hmmm, now I'll have to seriously check this out.

One of the reasons I was tentative about going to the official 2.x release was that I would loose all my freebie jailbreak apps. I'll have to check out the App store and see if there enough free apps to replace the ones I'll be "losing" first.

Not sure how I'd mount the Ipod since I don't have a GPS style mount. Maybe I can get something cheap at say Target if I want to windshield mount it.

 

Let me know what you decide i think im going to restore mine and do it all apple style. Rose was loading things on hers like crazy last night and i have to say i liked what i saw. Although the apps are similar the apple ones were better designed. From what i can tell 2.0 basically unlocks it for you. Also better for the warranty if it bricks to have the real software on there.

 

It looks like it is a fun novelty, but isn't a deal breaker for me to jump ship to the iBandwagon.
