has anyone got this app on their iPhone and used it?!

I'm intrigued. measures 0-60 acceleration, quarter mile, HP, Lateral G's and more

 

I tell you that almost makes me want to get an iPhone just for that app !

 

cool for £7.49 ill try it anyway

 

XDA developers are also getting one sorted for the likes of the HTC Diamond:

[APP]Pocket GForce [Updated 09-04-08 to v0.03] - xda-developers

It will be free, but normal etiquette is to donate to the developer.

They should use the in-built GPS reciever to record G-Force across a distance too.

So its records what the road you are driving along looks like by the changes in the GPS location and reports back the data acquired at each point (kinda like F1 cars have )

 

I undertsand the GPS refresh rate is too slow to be any use (1 Hz).

The dyno programs are using feedback from a built-in accelerometer in the phone, which is originally installed to sense the finger tip speed and direction on the screen for menu selections.

Clever huh?

sounds cool, might have to try this app
wiley

 

Surely its accurate enough to record a circuit (or track?) and then use the accelerometer to measure the things that it will be more accurate at measuring?

Like combiming the app on XDA Developers with something like this: PocketGear : GPS Performance and then using the most accurate measurements of each unit (GPS for tracking and writing what a road/circuit/track looks like and then accelerometer for measuring your G, Speed and Acceleration around the different sections of that written road)

Does that make sense?

 

It makes sense, but the phone GPS location would be out of sync with the accelerometer.
May be easier to buy a BT GPS reciever with a faster refresh (20 Hz) and get that syncd with the dyno programme?

Nick

 

either way, would be awesome!

 

I will be getting a DVD full of apps soon...
