This could be the killer iPhone app.

I've resisted the iPhone because I have tons of Palm apps and use them regularly. This could be the back-breaker.



OT: Notice I used [&fmt=18] at the end of the URL. This is an undocumented YouTube command that toggles high resolution video. Try it without the command. It really makes a difference on some videos.

Palm is a dead technology.

Palm is a dead technology.

That's precisely my point. However, I have a buttload of applications that simply don't exist for the iPhone and I'm not going to switch if I can't use them.

For example, I have a handy dive planner for matching mixed gases, O2 orifices, and depth for my Dräger rebreather. I've also got a gas mixing app for blending trimix in the field or on a boat.

Another example is a .pdf reader. For no good reason, I have the U.S. Army survival manual in my phone. It's not necessary, but it's interesting to read at the dentist's office.

I can already read PDF files on my iPhone. The rebreather calculator is pretty specialized...I got nothin' for you there.

FYI, the iPhone now has trimix and nitrox applications.

I almost bought one today myself. Went to the apple store to see it in action and decided not to due to the price of there plans for one. They are way pricey for monthly charges. Also there safari web browser sucks to no end. I have to be able to log into the railroad website to see when I'm going to work. Stupid safari is so incompatible with most websites that I decided it wasn't for me. plus you cant just transfer files to the iphone from your computer. whats the point of having 8 gigs if you can only use them for music and pictures. dumb, real dumb

Id like to get one but if I cant use it for what I need than there's no point.
