Hi everyone. I know it's been mentioned in passing a couple times here, but I wanted to explicitly point out this seemingly sweet app for iPhone and iPod Touch, for those who have missed it.

From the developer's website ( http://dynolicious.com/ ):

"Dynolicious is the first automotive performance meter available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Dynolicious uses the hardware built-in to your iPhone to measure the performance characteristics of your vehicle. No external wires or equipment is necessary, simply slip the iPhone into a cradle or cupholder and go!

Some of the performance metrics Dynolicious can measure:

0-60 Acceleration
1/4 Mile Elapsed Time
Lateral G's
Horsepower

Unlike other accelerometer-based performance meters, Dynolicious uses the advanced data-handling and display capabilities of the iPhone to make the most of your performance testing. Dynolicious maintains a history of test runs, showing you averages and trends in your results. Dynolicious also allows you to enter modifications performed to your vehicle, and will instantly show before-and-after results to easily identify gains or losses."


And here's a comparison/review video:

I'm probably in the minority to not have an iPhone/iPod Touch. Been resisting it even though I love Apple hardware. I think this is the killer app that's going to push me over. When I get my car back and can do some testing against real dyno time, I'll post a follow up. In the meantime, is anyone using this software? Your impressions?
