IPHONE APP For car nuts

I came across this today, I am sure there would be someone out there with IPHONE 3G who could use this little piece of work when it is released

Thats damn funky

i wonder how accurate it really is

**Wagon_Wheel** · 24-07-2008, 06:39 PM

That is absolutly insane!! If thats actually accurate that makes me want an iphone lol

**Raptorsc** · 24-07-2008, 06:45 PM

That is the thought in my mind too, apparently the accelerometer in the phone is high quality item, so if that is true then it should be able to make a measurement. I have heard some game players are not getting the response needed from the accelerometer ......... this could translate into not quite spot on measurements maybe.

I dunno but this is ultra cool and will go somewhere eventually I reckon, will be mad popular

Also N95 will be able to do it, along with HTC & some other handsets, a number of them coming out now with accelerometers

**Raptorsc** · 24-07-2008, 08:25 PM

Which of those has an accelerometer and could do it right now? What options?

Will they run this same APP or would it be a new APP to suit those other phones?

**NORTI** · 24-07-2008, 08:47 PM

I havent had a chance to look at what platform the app runs on. I have a N95 & have a few programs that use the accelerometer on it now.

I know there was a thread about turning the N95 into a G-tech, so I know there is some stuff around for Symbian OS based phones already, probably more than whats around for the iPhone.

You got any screen dumps of them in action?

If the IPHONE dudes get one good APP that should do I reckon.

**NORTI** · 24-07-2008, 09:14 PM

lol my programs are magic ball & light sabre

lols nothing remotely helpful

But there are 4X4 applications for tilt etc, & stepmeters for walkers/joggers, & a few people talking about making free dyno/gtech apps for the nokias, So Im just waiting for them to come out. (I think there is some available now that cost, but Im not sure if they work well or not)

Youtube has plenty of people with N95's showing off accelerometer apps, try having a look there.

tempes GTx is designed for the n95 and uses the internal gps to measure acceleration, top speed etc etc... you can get the demo at Tempes GT that enables you to check that it works correctly, it's fairly sensitive in the fact you can make it register movement by passing it from one hand to another. theres another thread on here somewhere about it.

but that iphone app looks pretty cool!

norti you should get rotateMe, very very handy

**daron** · 24-07-2008, 10:43 PM

my n95 does all that crap its good
iphones are crap dont waiste ya time with them

**Bax** · 24-07-2008, 11:17 PM

Whats wrong with iphones?

Why would you bother with this program? I'm confused.

**daron** · 25-07-2008, 12:02 AM

iphones dont do lots things
they got really bad reception
a few places now have them on hold because 3 out or 5 come back
use 1 for a week youll see what i mean
i know a few ppl with them and they hate them already

as for the program it shows you 1/4 mile times speeds and stuff

**Jesterarts** · 25-07-2008, 08:52 AM

OMG its an iGTECH

lol... I can't see that being very accurate...lol

the accelarometers in the iphone are not very precises... lol

Now every boy racer with a civic that has 20 cannons on it will be claiming 300rwkw caus they iphone measured it... lol

The 1/4 thing mine be good for the time readout though... if it used the GPS you map that...

**SMIT** · 25-07-2008, 10:47 AM

dude theres nothing wrong with iphones

**Vk-5ltr Berlina** · 25-07-2008, 01:11 PM

**Wagon_Wheel** · 25-07-2008, 05:04 PM

**Troy5L** · 25-07-2008, 07:06 PM

i heard that they dont have bluetooth? or was that the older iphones????

**NORTI** · 25-07-2008, 10:07 PM

they dont have bluetoothe DATA transfer, it has 'bluetooth' but a very disabled version, much like HipTop handsets etc...

So the only thing that can connect is handsfree car kits/ear pieces

This is true but, like everything it doesnt come with stock can be added through apps.

**NORTI** · 26-07-2008, 12:13 PM

Thats what I dont get, People are like OMG Steve/Apple loves us so much by making the iPhone sooooo cheap, yeah until you realise that to use it you will need to purchase & download all the applications

Data costs + App costs + iPhone = not so cheap now is it??

**f1_power** · 28-07-2008, 04:13 PM

Data is free on Wifi

There are 100s of Free Apps

iPhone is expensive because it's in demand - go figure....

**Raptorsc** · 28-07-2008, 05:00 PM

Anyone is welcome to post links to all the Free apps that are good for vehicle performance measurement, haven't seen any useful ones yet.

Bring em on
