Hey all,
So, most everyone with a first gen 3000GT is familiar with MMCD, the datalogger software for old palm pilots, but palms with serial ports like that are old, hard to find, and lacking so many features compared to newer devices.
I don't know what will come of the newly announced 3G iPhone, but at least as far as the 6 million original iPhones (and i don't know how many iTouch's were sold), they are really easy to mod to allow 3rd party software to be installed on the device, and the details of controlling the serial port are well documented online, right here:
DevDot » Iphone Serial Port Tutorial
We also have very thorough details on the operation of the car's datalogger connection and serial protocol here:
http://mmcdlogger.sourceforge.net/
and we can get dock connectors here:

There is plenty of information available online on programming a Jailbroken iPhone, (or apple has an official dev kit but it costs money, has limitations, etc), so all we need is someone who can write a nice program for the iphone and honestly it looks like it wouldn't be too hard! There would also need to be a special cable to convert levels but that's pretty simple.
Anyone know anyone who could do this? There could be some pretty cool applications with all the interface and connectivity options the iphone has.
Thoughts?
