This Might Force Me to Finally Get an I-Phone

path_tracker_screenshot_with_iphone.jpgI have resisted getting an iPhone for a long time. Mainly because I have a pretty decent phone, a Blackberry 8820, but mostly because they were just so damn expensive. The prices have gone way down for the phone, but the monthly charges are still up there.

One amazing thing about the iPhone that the Blackberry doesn't have is a diaspora of developers writing killer apps for the phone. The one people in my office are always raving about can tell you name of any song that's playing nearby. Kinda cool, but I think I can live without it.

What I don't think I can live without is Path Tracks. Of course I can live without, but I don't know if I want to. Basically it taps into the GPS with the phone and plots your route on a map along with time, distance, speed and altitude. Very cool.

I already have two computers for my bike, so, you know, I don't really need it, but it is very cool, and if I had an iPhone, I'd definitely pony up the 99 cents to buy the software.
