Hey all,

I was surfing around a techie blog (crave.cnet.com), saw this article and thought you'd all like to know about it. I don't have an iPhone, so I don't know accurate it is, but it sounds pretty cool if it works!

And if you're wondering, no I don't work for them. =)


Here's the link to manufacturers site:

Here's the blurb on cnet:

Dynolicious appears to be the first automotive performance meter available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The app utilizes the iPhone's built-in accelerometer to measure the performance characteristics of any vehicle it's placed into.

Simply toss your iPhone into the nearest cupholder or cradle and Dynolicious will record your quarter-mile, 0-60 time, lateral Gs, horsepower, and a host of other statistics. The developers state accuracy within a tenth of a second and 1.5 mph.

Dynolicious is available in the iTunes Store for $12.99.

 

Yah on audizine bunch of guys already bought it and tried it out, with some very good reviews.

 

no way that effin sicks, i gotta get me on of these, schit now i need to buy an iphone as well

 

Hmmm tempting, i think im just gonna buy it. $13.

 

hmmm is it really this accurate? "accuracy within a tenth of a second and 1.5 mph." if this is teh case we will be able to do before and after tests of the perfomance parts in real life extremely easily now.This is a godsend. Even if not completely accurate this is gonna be a pretty cool App

 

If you don't have an iphone currently it'd be a LOT cheaper to just get a G-tech or something similar... they've been offering this (with better accuracy) for over a decade now

If you do have an iphone then sure, $13 ain't bad for the feature.

 

I'll give this a try when I get my computer back

 

dont waste your money........

 

Someone tried this on one of the other forums I visit. It seems to be fairly accurate. Here is what he got.

 

I have an Escort GT2 Performance monitor and the iPhone has similar technology built in. It wouldn't surprise me if it could work.

 

I heard while it looks cool, it's not good. It freezes up a lot and has a lot of other problems. Don't have the link but will post later to the review.

 

imma try this out since i got some free itunes gift cards lol

 

Techkie Lexus owners...... love the cool info...going to download it to my touch today...not sure if I will use it much. But just nice to have

 

i want to get it, but waiting for the update to see how it really is.. the reason why it's stopping me from getting it is the error inputting the vehicle..
