    i just got a htc windows cell phone and want to use it as a lap timer/analyzer. i heard harry's lap timer is good but i think thats only for i phones. i would ideally like to coordinate video, lap time, g force, and data from the obd port like brake and gas position

    is there a good alternative app for my phone?

    One of my Ferrari CCR customers did this exact thing and mated it up with his RaceKeeper camera.

    He bought a stand-alone HTC phone that he velcros on the steering wheel and uses the downloaded app, GPA lap-timer that shows time gain/loss.

    Here are the CONS:
    1. He has to take his glove off to start it.
    2. He has to select the start-finish location manually in the first practice.... which makes it impossible to overlay with other data unless any of your friends using the same set-up also have the exact same reflexes and st/finish location judgement :)
    3. It takes a while to start up the phone and software (about 3 minutes) for everything to initialize

    He just replaced it with a Solo DL. I believe considering several of his teammates have similar systems, he will get a lot out of it.

    switched phone to android since no apps for windows. going with trackmaster app which doesnt use obd data but is very simple and should be fine for me.

    thanks

    The AiM Solo or the VBOX Sport is the ticket.
