[texican]

Bump?

any news?

I'd be interested if it came with free cell phone service.

I'm a long time (1986) Apple user. I've love to buy an iPhone - but I'm not paying the ridiculous rates to use one.

I just replaced my 4 year old Motorola v600 with a Nokia 6120 classic. Cost me $200. The "pay as you go" AT&T phone service I use with it costs me all of $100/year - $125 if I really talk a lot. No way am I paying the $700+ per year (MINIMUM) to use an iPhone. No way. No how. No thanks.

I could be interested in a dive log app that runs on my Nokia though

.......but I'm not paying the ridiculous rates to use one......

Would these be Rogers rates in Canada by chance?

Having followed this post all along now, I have thought about it and do not think I would utilize this sort of application. I love (absolutely love) the Dive Log that comes with my Suunto Cobra and actually enjoy going back over dives. I think I would prefer to go over them on my full size computer rather than a small iPhone. I want the full size graphs etc. for me to see. This is just my personal take on it of course.

I don't want to promise too much at the moment, but I'm in contact with an iPhone developer who wants to create a logbook application which is able to sync with Diving Log. The development has just started, so it may take a while for a first version, but I'm very confidently. I've also contacted the thread starter before a long time, but never got a response.

I would also like to get one or both of the existing Mac desktop logbooks into this project, so iPhone users with Macs are also able to sync their logbooks to the desktop. When there are some more news I'll write it here in this thread.

No, I'm talking about the $60/month (minumum) that AT&T wants.

I'd like to. I really want to. But it doesn't work under MacOS X ): Mac Divelog is pretty good though.

I just bought an iphone 3G, and the $60 individual service plan. The wife is still mulling over whether to get one or go with another smartphone from Verizon or Sprint. I'll agree that the iphone as a cellphone is nothing spectacular, but when you consider what else it will do, I think its something special. I've not seen anything with a superior web browsing experience.

Regarding the cost, I don't think that the AT&T iphone plan is out of line when you look at what it would cost to go with another provider's basic service and then add an unlimited data option to it. You're going to be at around $60 either way you go, at least in my area. For example, Verizon wants $80 a month for a plan with unlimited data (it does include unlimited text messaging, which is a $20 option to the iphone plan). And that's without putting any monetary value on the iphone's user friendly interface.

I'm very interested in a dive application for the iphone, particularly one that would sync with a mac computer application.

Here are some news: the dives were stored in a SQLite database on the iPhone and can be synchronized with the desktop logbook software. So you're able to get your dive profiles onto the iPhone. And here are some early screenshots (they are likely to change due to the early stage):

Wow! That looks very promising. It's about time someone made a proper dive app for the iphone.

The communication between the desktop computer and the iPhone works now, so it's very easy to transfer your logbook to the iPhone and vice versa. Everything works wireless ("over the air") via WiFi. The app will run of course also on the iPod Touch. Here you can see the iPhone sync dialog:
