How Fast Are You REALLY Going? Speedster Knows
By 
When I was a kid my uncle owned a Datsun 240Z.
(For those of you too young to remember- Datsun was the orginal US name for Nissan and the 240z was the "poor man’s Jaguar")
It was an awesome looking car that was just begging to be taken out and opened up on the highway. I was just a kid of 7 or 8 so it certianly wasn’t going to be me. Luckily, a member of the family (not my uncle) was willing to take my brother and me for a ride. This particular individual tends to be highly responsible and quite conservative in his actions but that car got into him. He got on the highway and opened the car up up like nobody’s business. (Hence the reason he is going nameless.) I was in the back (FYI kids- it was a two-seater) so I couldn’t see the speedometer but there is no question it was being pushed to the max.
Looking back now I wish I knew how fast we were going and if it happened today I would thanks to an upcoming app from WebIS.
Speedster is a little app that should be appearing in the App Store in the next few days. It has a nice, immediately familiar, interface and it tells you your speed (in mph or kph), your altitude and your location.
Speedster is one of those small apps that take advantage of the iPhone’s location feature in uncomplicated and useful ways.
We’ll let you know when it is available.
