mr lee Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Everybody and his brother has an iPod these days... except me. The iPod, in various guises, has been such a success there are bazillions of attachments for them being made by companies everywhere. All the catalogs stuffed in my mailbox, as well as the online shopping outlets, have speakers, docks, pouches, and you name it, made specifically for iPods. All this has led to another social phenominon... iPod Envy. Envy of people that have a later or more expensive model. Or people that have more or better aftermarket accessories. How do you keep up with the Joneses? Here's how... get an iPod Touch and sniper rifle software. Quote: A new application has been launched for the iPod touch to help gun users line up a clean shot at their target. The BulletFlight app, which costs £6.99 to download from the iTunes store, has been developed by Runaway App to turn the iPod touch into a ballistics computer which the company says can provide “quick solutions in the fieldâ€. Users can mount their iPod touch to their rifle, and then use the iPod’s touch-screen to tap in details about the wind conditions, ammunition type, distance to the intended target and even the wind speed. “Unlike other apps, BulletFlight does not output information in table format,†says the application’s iTunes page. “What it does do is dynamically give you the solution you need now to take that shot.†http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechn...iPod-touch.html Would you really trust a £6.99 download to decide where your next shot should go? Gimmick or possibly the start of something that could be a usefull piece of kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCM Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Lots of long range shooters use this stuff (ballistics programs) on hand held PC's - and if the output is the same looks like a winner For a modest price I reckon it is great value - for targets iSnipe looks worth a try too Edited January 26, 2009 by AndyCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
