| You can use it with the IPOD TOUCH too. But the GPS portion wouldn't work during flight. It would work around a Wifi signal though. But the rest of the functions will work because the touch has the same accelerometer.
This way you could put your TOUCH on the panel for music and back up attitude indicator.

Has anyone seen this application for the iPhone 3G? I lurk on the RV Digest
and heard about it there. The 3G has a GPS receiver as well as
accelerometers for use as an auto map navigator. Someone devised an
application that converts the iPhone to an attitude indicator/DG. The
application sells for $5.99. Yep, that's right. Of course you have to have
the phone and I hear it's several hundred bucks.
Obviously, it's not approved for use in an airplane, but what if you carried
it just for an additional backup behind your glass panel, your steam gauges
and your portable G496? Anybody used it yet? Does it provide enough real
information to save your bacon in a pinch?
