Someone else in this very thread is having the same issue...

Perhaps one of your accelerometers is broken?

All you need is an un-jailbroken iPhone/Touch updated to v2.0, supposedly.

I did update my post above though.

Looks quite interesting. Couple of motoring sites have done reviews and the consensus is that it's remarkably accurate.

Going to have to download this when I get home and try it. Not bad for $12.99, and uses the accelerometer to perform the calcs. Though, race chrono is free

Just purchased. Will report back if I get a chance to test.

Damn, I wish I hadn't seen this.

I've being trying to avoid the temptation to get an iPhone. I spent an evening playing with one a few weeks back, and whilst it was cool it didn't truly impress me. And that says a lot coming from a lifetime Apple/Mac user. But apps like these are pushing me towards it.....

I think I'm going to upgrade my original iphone to the new 3G iphone, if the rumoured plans with Virgin come out on friday as promised.

You know you want it, no NEED it.

We need to pay homage at the alter to Steve

[AussieRacer]

Swarm please tell.....what plans?

[airhead]

0 - 60mph in 15 seconds by shaking my iPhone up and down really fast...

[smarm]

These are the plans being mooted by the media for release on friday;

For $70 per month for 24 months, all Virgin iPhone 3G customers will get:

· An 8GB Apple iPhone 3G for $0

· $520 WORTH OF CALLS & TEXTS

· 1GB OF DATA each and every month

· FREE CALLS & TEXT TO VIRGIN MOBILES!

· FREE VOICEMAIL to receive and retrieve in Oz!

· 40¢ Call Rate per 30 seconds w/ 40¢ call connection

· 25¢ Text to others in Australia, 35¢ overseas

For $100 per month, you can get the same plan but increase your data allowance up to 5GB. Yep, 5 Gigs.

Want the 16 Gig version? Then that'll be $4 extra a month on the Cap 70 plan, but no extra on the Cap 100 plan.

As we mentioned yesterday, Virgin runs on the Optus network, so you get the same coverage as the current best deal, but with a lot more data.

OK, its not fast but it was just a test run from one red light to another.

0-10 1.50
0-20 2.96
0-30 4.03
0-40 5.46
0-50 6.49
0-60 7.92

Max Speed 69.1 - that looks spot on to when I let off the gas.
Max Accle .085G
Peek HP 234HP

I'm merging this thread with the original. (5th merge on this one topic!)

[coolguy]

Its a very good bang for the buck. But I am looking for something tied to the gps instead of the accelerometer. But kudos to the software :biggrin:

Thanks I couldn't find where the orginal thread was.

I was in traffic yesterday, so I didn't get a chance to do any real runs. But my daughter and I did a dozen runs from the living room to the kitchen... definetly worth the $12.

BTW, by quickly moving the phone from my waist to my above my head (in one direction, not shaking), I got 1/4 mile time of 10.62 @160.7 MPH, and 981 WHP!

I am still waiting for my 3g Iphone to arrive... I don't want to try my 1g (2g? ) in case it doesn't work and I torch 12 bucks !
Once I have the 3g I will be getting this software for sure.

If you look in the picture, it's for a 2003 Mini Cooper S. :wink:

It works just fine with my 1st gen phone.

Those of you who have tested this in your 1ers, where are you placing your iphone or ipod touch? I can't seem to find a good place for it to be flat horizontally or vertically.
