We latterly describe on Dynolicious , the $ 13 app that uses the iPhone ’s accelerometer to meter your car ’s functioning , and mentioned a few positive impressions that coat in the app ’s early days . certainly , the idea is appeal and makes theoretic sensory faculty , but I at least necessitate vaguely scientific confirmation that this matter in reality works well . It is in the spirit of dim science , then , that Garage419 take Dynolicious out on the track and pitting it against the electrical circuit ’s clock as well as the popular G - Tech Pro accelerometer - free-base dynometer , generally affect as the industry criterion for consumer performance metering . astonishingly , at less than one tenth of the G - Tech Pro ’s retail terms , Dynolicious eats it for lunch ( Sorry for the objectionable advertising in the television , cut ahead for the results ) . The biggest surprise here is that the accelerometer is so precisely calibrated and tune up that it can turn out accurate final result , but that ’s not the area in which the iPhone beam . The touch screen interface and large screen make viewing and interact with the data much more pleasurable than on its comparatively low - tech contender . The software is also a bit smarter than the G - Tech ’s , which wrongly identified some maneuvers , resetting the lap timers at unfitting times . Dynolicious is n’t the first example of a niche market re - purposing the iPhone ’s tech , but it is among the most successful . Word is that itdoesn’t quite stack upthe the really pricey stuff , but I ’m going to embark a guess that the $ 600 unit of measurement do n’t play Monkey Ball . [ Dynolicious ]
