Default Inmotion PocketDyno or Dynolicious for Ipod touch?!

Anyone with experience with BOTH?! Looks like a good amount of AW users are satisfied with both.

Pocketdyno is 5 bucks, Dynolicious is 13.

If they are similar enough I'll go with the cheaper one. Both use exact same hardware (obviously) so are there any real differences in accuracy?

Any insight appreciated, about to buy one of them...

Default I was originally only looking at Dynolicous, then found other one searching here so I'm fine with

forgetting all about the pocketdyno if the Dynolicous works well.

Do you think it is "accurate" for what it is?

Worth the 13 bucks or just skip on both?

Default Exactly why I decided to consider it when I saw it. Just figured I'd see if one was better than the

other.

The "you pay for what you get" theory is telling me to go for the dynolicious one (at a steep 8 dollars more than the pocketdyno!).

Also, if I spent 13 dollars on every stupid thing I saw that might work I would most certainly be broke! This one I think I'll give a shot though.

Default I found Dynolicious to be quite close to the prinout at the strip, but it is sensitive to mounting..

...location. You need to keep it as flat and level as possible, and pointed straight ahead.

I haven't tried Pocketdyno.

3M velcro to the dash work? Duct tape if all else fails

Default I used some very careful passenger seat adjustment to get it just right

I wedged it between the bottom and back rest just a little bit to make sure it didn't move around.

Default Thats what most reviews I found said. Must have it secure and level, also read a complaint that it

sometimes has problems with knowing when to start if there is too much vibration in the car.

Sounds like its worth a shot... You're just saying I need to pay attention to the details when using it. I think I'll give velcro a shot.

Default Yeah, basically just pay attention to the details

I'm heading to the strip with it tomorrow. If my car is running right, I'll probably get 10 or 12 runs in, so I'll get a good set of comparisons between Dynolicious and the timeslips that I can share with you.
