Hi AOL,
I've previously asked whether you would port an iPhone versions of the wonderful Racechrono but after much thought and to-ing and fro-ing I decided to go for the HTC Touch HD mostly because of it's lack of restrictions on GPS and Bluetooth unlike the iPhone. I'm very happy with the Touch HD but wish I could run Racechrono on it. I've looked into other Windows Mobile GPS lap timers and they just don't compare.
So long story short and I know it's a big ask but is there any chance of a WM version in the near/far future?
All the best,
J

I've picked WM as the next platform for these reasons: It has unrestricted GPS and Bluetooth, C/C++ programming interfaces AND substantial user base.
iPhone has the last two but not the first, so tough luck iPhone users! Lets hope there will be firmware that fixes these limitations, as the iPhone version would generate the ultimate buzz and hype...
Please put me on the beta list as I've found that your betas are more stable than many developers 1.0 releases. Hope I can use it for our annul trip to the Nurburgring in May.
Thanks AOL, I'll keep spreading the word

Will there be Java version (like for Sony Ericsson)? If yes, when it will be?
Thank you for such a great program.
I am using your S60 3rd version on N95.. works great!
I'm still waiting for accelometer support in new version, I hope..
my question is: I have an GPS unit in my car that is based on WIN CE 5.0 wich is similar to WIN Mobile.. I think.. is it posible that you will release an WIN CE version aswell?
thank you
keep up good work!
I've been playing about with http://www.everytrail.com/home.php
It's an impressive facility for recording gps journeys and publishing the details. The idea of using a web server to do some anaylysis of data uploaded directly from the device is very cool, and could be something for the future of racechrono. I only wish I had any expertise to offer! I'll stick to end user testing :-(
I'm very much looking forward to the WM version when it comes out. Please can you tell me if it will be possible to import my old sessions from my Nokia?
Thanks J
First of all, thanks for the application. It's truly an excellent piece of software. I've tried it on Mantorp Park and Kinnekulle Ring here in Sweden. Unfortunatly I've bought a new phone that doesn't run s60. What would it take for you to bump the J2ME version?
Wouldn't a J2ME version benefit most people? More cross platform compatible...
I've got a Sony Ericsson C905 at the moment. I would love to see a version of RaceChrono for it. I'd pay for a multi platform license.
Btw. How cross platform compatible is J2ME anyways? It was supposed to be platform independent and all that when it came but there seems to be a lot of special scenarios anyway.
BTW: As you must have noticed, you now have an option to buy a Windows Mobile phone or a PDA if you prefer that over S60. :)
Thanks for considering the WM platform. Looking forward to the beta version.
I have a track day this weekend, so it'd be great to have even a rough beta to tryout and give you feedback on. But from the comment above, it looks like I'll have to borrow a friend's Symbian phone for this. But hope to be using my PocketPC at the next one. Cheers and thanks again.
Got the beta, thanks! I'll try and use it as much as possible. Have a possible race on the 18th April and possibly a test session between now and then. So far it's installed well on a WM 5.0 device (http://www.smartphonehistory.com/specs.php?UID=24), need to grap a GPS form a friend. Will be back with updates.
Mike.
