I have not tried it in the car yet... It works on all iPhones, I have not gotten the 3G yet so Im running it on my 1st gen iPhone.

Interested too see if this works as well. I will buy and download if so.

Well here it goes......

I downloaded it for $12.99 on my 1st Generation iPhone within minutes. The application is located in the sports section under dynolicious or do a iTunes search. I calibrated and setup the application for my company car a Chevy Impala. I will test it later on my Lotus. Again, just like all apple products it is very user friendly. Once the Florida Turnpike was clear I hit the "Start Run" button and waited for the "Accelerate" button. It has a speedometer on it and it was accurate to the Impala speedometer. As I hit 90 mph the test concluded and recorded lots of information. Everything from 1/8, 1/4 mile , and 0 - __ times. Other information is also saved. You can set it up for numerous cars too. SWEET!

I did a couple of more runs and I think when I spun the tires the speedometer was not as accurate. I have to do it again to see for sure. The application is worth the money. I will recommend it without a doubt.
This iPhone is amazing. It was worth the four hours in line.

Good luck.

How does it figure out horsepower?

 

[charliex]

some phones have accelerometers in them, it tells you how many g's you are pulling , from that you can calculate a lot of things, given some basic details about the car like weight.

I wonder what the margin of error would be (vs a real dyno)?
