Totally O/T but it does relate to Tourism, and information

I dont reckon its off topic Kim, its about communications and using technology to makes things different (its not always better).

It would be handy for caravaners instead of hunting for that little glass bubble thingy when setting up your van! Apparently it uses the accelerometer function on Iphone and Ipod Touch.

I love my iphone - the origin reason for getting it was that when the boys and I are camping I have family/friends who tend to wonder if we are ok - and well when the boys go to bed I have to stay near the tent and am usually on my own. With the help of my iphone I can be on facebook and tell my friends/family I'm ok, I can check out the net and find out what's around or simply play a game. I think there is heaps of potential for iphone apps...but then many of my friends have them - don't know how many people on here use them?
