an iTouch. The apps run on either, but the iTouch doesn't have 3G.
Yes, the app could also announce the maneuvers thru a headset to the judge;
but whose voice to use?? Hmmmmmm. . . .<BR><BR>Someone would have to
figure out how to use the WiFi to download the scores since the iTouch doesn't
have 3G. . . peer-to-peer WiFi setup with the scorekeepers laptop?<BR><BR>. .
.or another, probably more manageable solution would be to use the USB cable
on the iTouch or iPhone to download the scores. That may be an easier
solution than trying to figure out how to get the app to talk over the
internet or WiFi to the scorekeepers 'puter.<BR><BR> If we don't
have guys that can write the app, I know there is a cottage industry of
companies that write apps. Maybe it would be easier to hire some long-haired
hippie types to write the app.<BR><BR> I'm interested to hear from
the guys on the list that do IT stuff professionally to let me know how
feasable this idea is.<BR><BR>. . . back on my desktop 'puter. .

[NSRCA-discussion] iPhone app for scoring<BR><BR>Has anyone thought about
developing an app for use while judging? I<BR>was thinking something
similar to the calculator app, but with<BR>additional buttons to scroll thru
the maneuvers. The iPhone is small<BR>enough to hold in your line of sight as
you punch in each maneuver<BR>score, and the scores could be forwarded with
either the 3G, WiFi, or<BR>bluetooth.<BR><BR> Obviously some
issues would be having enough iPhone's show up at a<BR>contest, keeping them
charged thru the day, and managing the data flow<BR>to the
scorekeeper.<BR><BR> Could the scores be sent back to the NSRCA
web site from each<BR>iPhone and then the scorekeeper just access a web page
for the<BR>results? Can the web site host the scoring software in this
manner?<BR><BR>Of course. . .<BR>Sent from my
