[amsat-bb] iPhone / iPod touch Tracking software

[GW1FKY@aol.com]

Hi all,
Further to the recent posting on the BBS about availability of  "  Tracking 
Software " for iphones.
I thought that I would point out that Jim Berry also now has tracking  
software for the iPhone / iPod Touch.
PocketSat3 is now available ( including a demo version ) from his web site  
_http://www.bigfattail.com_ (http://www.bigfattail.com) 
or _www.pocketsat.com_ (http://www.pocketsat.com) 
 
Jim's  versions for PDA's such as Palm and Pocket PC have been around  of 
course for some time now and 
prove to be very useful when operating portable. Some of these devices are  
available so cheap these days
but are of course some are much very much slower than an iPod.
They still do the job with prediction and tracking and have proved very use 
 for me not only for operating but also for demonstrations on working  
satellites.
Good luck and you will find Jim very helpful, he is also   looking its use 
on other possible Windows mobile
devices.

Oh - I'd appreciate it if you'd point out the existence of PocketSat3  
for the iPhone / iPod Touch when you're demoing. A new iPod Touch 
costs  < $200 and blows the doors off of the Palm devices - and 
PocketSat3 is  way cooler than PocketSat+, as well. ( www.pocketsat.com  )
