When i first got my iphone last year.. i relied on radar from My-CAST.
i used their radar images to decide to pull off an island.. and was in white out rain in 10 minutes. within 20 minutes i was doing around 30mph??? and just as i tried to pull up to an island to get out of the weather... my rudders both popped up! i yelled at my crew, "HOLD ON, WE ARE GONNA HIT" (then i rolled off my boat)

i hit the island and landed 6 feet inland. Amazingly the only damage was torn batten pockets (in the torndado jib i was testing to purchase from Robbie Daniels... didmt buy it)

I later learned My-Cast radar images are not always current.. i now have 6 radar sites on my phone.

what apps do you use that are priceless?

Its gonna twist yer nits when you know that I was checking radar images on my phone for YEARS before the iPhone came out.

I love all the kool-aid drinkers that think that their phone made it possible to do all these things that nobody has ever done on a phone before.

my favorite app (blackberry) - google search with voice recognition....bad butt. Does math, does google search, unit conversion. I get a strange look in meetings when I ask my phone something relative like "what is 177,000 Euros in US Dollars" (or whatever)...but when the answer pops up on the screen, they all gasp.

(how's that for a hijack?)

Is the gasp before or after you tell them thats what the balance is of your Swiss bank account? :P
