Would you like to see an Orbiter running on the iPhone/iPod Touch? If you would and you would be prepared to contribute a small amount of money to support this work then vote in this poll.

let's ask the other way, how much would you pay for an orbiter in the app store?

Hmmm...well lets see most iPhone apps cost either 'nothing' or close to it...so I'll be generous and say $20 ;-)

.... think you would get a lot of 'bites' at that price!

Once I have MCE up and running, I'd happily spring up to about $50 in the App store to get my iPod touch (and my wide's iPhone) acting as proper orbiters.

Depends on whether it would use wifi or bluetooth for presence detection (for alarm) and follow me capabilities.   Personally, i would prefer windows mobile 6 orbiter since virtually every carrier has windows mobile phones. I would contribute to that in a minute.   ;D

So thats a 'no' then I guess... ;-)

Start another thread/vote for Windows Mobile 6.

Good idea ... But I think you can find a lot of iPhone volunteers who will make or at least try to do that for glory ;) I'd do that if I'd familiar with iPhone API and would have iPhone :)

To be frank Michael if it was that easy we'd have an iPhone Orbiter already... and we dont ;-)

I vote yes... $20 sounds about right for the app store. At that price I would probably purchase 2, 1 for my iphone and 1 for my son's I-touch

extremeshannon

I would gladdly buy the app or contribute

Count me in, $20.00 would be a great price either as a contribution or at the app store.

I voted yes, but also wanted to make sure everyone was aware that the new Iphone OS is coming out in June and Apple opened up bluetooth to the SDK so now we can take advantage for the orbiter or whatever else we could use it for.

 I would pay up to $40 since a Web pad 366 is already $150 on a good day.

Good point...bluetooth for follow-me might be worth reinvestigating for sure. WiFi for the comms though I think is the best route.
