android lap timer

[TomC]

There's an app out for android phones for those of you looking for a lap timer. I can't really comment on how useful or reliable it is as I've never owned a lap timer, but for those of you who already own an android phone, $7 bucks sounds like a bargain for any sort of timing mechanism.

Tom, have you seen this one? Looks cool. http://www.appstorehq.com/harry-slap...hone-30314/app

This discussion came up last year (smart phone based lap timers) and reciprocity said it best when he said:

This makes perfect sense to me.

Use a $600 piece of hardware to emulate a $150 piece of hardware.

I've since purchased a $150 lap timer. haha...

i have tried before but for whatever reason cannot find it on the canadian market. does anyone here actually have and use it? i have the htc hero

I have the Ap. It works really well.

In total, the cost was $57...$7 for the ap and $50 to upgrade to an andriod phone. I like the pocket feature. You can turn it on, then lock the screen and stick it in your pocket so you don't have to mount it. It then gives you a recording of your lap, all the diagnostics, g meter, etc., that you can export to google maps or an excel file for future comparison.

To be fair, I can't count the upgrade cost because I upgraded the phone before I knew the laptimer existed, but I'm happy I found it.

I just bought this for $55 including shipping and I dont need to risk my phone.

The phone supports much more then basic lap timing depending on the sensors you have in your device.

just a warning, you are going to rattle the sht out of your phone. I had to get mine replaced twice within a span of a few mounts of it being mounted; and this was street riding!

[YellowDuck]

Wow - that's a good deal. Much cheaper than the XT MiniLap, and has a remote sensor you can mount where you like. Nice.
