Thread: Anyone tired dynolicious

No, actually the Dynolicious application uses the accelerometers that are in the iPhone to calculate speed, g force, and HP. It must be orientation-calibrated, use the net weight of the car, and must be told the % of the drivetrain loss. Then, it will tell you. I'm still experimenting with this application, however. But that's a little more detailed about it.

The GPS receiver in the iPhone is not stellar compared to a dedicated consumer GPS, and downright abysmal compared to commercial and military grade GPS. It is useful to iPhone apps only through judicious software techniques. Over about a minute of continuous sampling the iPhone GPS will converge to a stable speed across flat, level ground, but...

It's funny you should say that. I don't see how the app would work on the itouch, as I suspect it uses GPS to get the speed. But I thought only the iphone had GPS ??...

for $13 if you have the iphone, go for it mate it looks the business.

Ive got an iphone and as above, but one of the dyno apps I downloaded told me I was travelling at 347km/h. Ive contacted the Guinness Book of Records.

i have a ipod touch so i bought dynolicious from itunes but couldnt figure out how to download it to the ipod ! ha its in applications in itunes and thats where it will stay until i can be bothered to mess about with it,if ever .

i've got an i phone and it's a pain in the ass . personlly i would get the nokia n96 . but the i phone has some brillant applications . but i have downloaded motion x gps on to it and it will give you speed / distance / elapsed time / max speed

its not great you cant get the iphone still and using the accelerometer to measure it very very un reliable. i wouldnt bother tbh.

Iphones can be free on contract. I'm due a new phone and can't decide between the Nokia 5800 and Iphone. I've always looked for an alternative to the Iphone, but then applications like this are launched and it makes me want one.
