Stopwatch App for Blackberry
I thought I should update you guys on my off-season keep-busy-till-racing-starts-again project...
I was looking around for a decent stopwatch app for my blackberry. I have a real stopwatch but I can never find it. And when I do, I can never remember how it works. It's about as easy to use as the clock on my VCR.
I took a look around for something better than the built-in one, and frankly, the one that came with my phone was as good as it gets.
So, I decided to write my own...
I read the manuals for several high-end stopwatches. Then I consulted a some pro coaches. Special thanks to Ross Bentley for all of his advice and support.
And after more than a few late nights... Voilà! We now have a full featured stopwatch app for the Blackberry.
It looks like this:
For an overview of what it does, please see:

It is now available for sale in Blackberry App World:

I'm already thinking about a more powerful variation for timing multiple cars in parallel. When it comes time, I know where to find Beta Testers.

Correct. It's a conventional trackside stopwatch. It's just a lot more convenient than a dedicated one.
I use a Race-Technology data logger in my race car. I would be surprised if the GPS in a phone is going to be anywhere near accurate enough to be a race timer. The RT unit relies heavily on the accelerometer for accuracy. Plus it has a roof mounted antenna.

Yes, Peter. Would be nice to see that.

I was an "early adopter" of Harry's track map and didn't like it; but maybe it was too beta for my tastes. might have to try another app
