This thread is to give you all a sneak peak of an iPhone application that I have developed and submitted to Apple (hopefully available Sunday May 6th, 2012).
It calculates SAC Rate, RMV, and total gas consumption as well as doubling as a very comprehensive tank database (72 tanks from 6 different manufacturers: Catallina, Faber, Luxfer, OMS, PST and Worthington.)
Please take a look at the screenshots below and let me know what you think and if there is interest in more applications I would be happy to continue to develop them.
Also this application will be selling for only 1 dollar.
It would be great if the tank database included the buoyancy when full and empty to aid adjusting weighting when changing to an unfamiliar tank. Buoyancy when empty or at 500 psi is particularly usefull. Thanks.
I'm going to be expanding the tank database in the first update which will hopefully come 1-2 weeks after the initial release. It will include the buoyancy characteristics and tank dimensions.

I plan on getting it - I've been working on gas management already, going through this with paper and calculator. What model iPhone and iOS are required? And what will be its official name in the app store?
Nice app - I'd like to see a screen that actually shows the calculations. I may help in their understating of what those numbers represent.
Like this: (((Starting tank Pressure- Ending tank pressure in PSI.) / Tank's pressure rating) * Tank's size in Cubic Feet) / (Dive Time * ((Average depth in feet + 33) ÷ 33)) = SAC
