Need a Dyno for your 250R? Buy an iPhone…
Wow — who would of thought that 2Fiddy.com would ever have two posts about iPhones in the same week? Well, sorry if this pisses you off Blackberry guys… But this is Post worthy..
The crafty donkies over at BunsenTech have come up with some nice iPhone software that lets you take advantage of the accelerometers and GPS features of the new iPhone 3G. Installing the software turns your phone it into performance metering software Dynolicious.
Now I really need to get a mount for my iPhone on my bike.. Because this software will give you:
- 0-60 Acceleration
- 1/4 Mile Elapsed Time
- Lateral G’s
- Horsepower
Granted it’s software based performance numbers, and not as exact of a science as strapping your bike to a drum.. But, it’ll still be a nice lil toy to have and play with for $12.95… I’m going to give this a whirl in the near future, and I’ll make sure I post the details when I can.

You could do all of this with the Blackberry minus the accelerometer stuff.

The price is kinda high for the typical one-shot user, and the other users need something better I imagine. The GPS is actually pretty bad when moving, so I wonder if we can get any useful numbers out of this.
BTW, it’s “would’ve” and not “would of”
