See what Brian Ford, from Australia, told me about this:

Gday Fransisco, we met a long time ago at F3B Worlds Kirchheim.
I was an Australain team helper, I didn't go to Finland.

Just some info. I have managed to get your Palm based timer working on my iPaq PPC using the trial emulator from here. http://styletap.com/
It seems to work OK, have you tried your application on any other PPCs. Just interested to find out.

Gracias
Brian Ford

Espen Torp testing my distance app at F3B World Championship 2003 in Germany...

Espen Torp Utilizando La aplicacion de DISTANCIA en el Mundial de F3b de 2003...

This is what the current F3B distance world record holder has to say about the program:

This program will for sure help learning to understand what to do in a split second in the distance task. I guess some teams are already using different methods of help during distance and yes it is possible to use charts and tables but this clever program will calculate your next move faster than your helper can figure it out.
We all know how hectic a distance fight can be and in these situations it is good to have some help.

The PDA ESCRIPTION:

PDA snapshots:

For program it i use a Palm Os PC Emulator becouse i don't have a Palm One. I use a daVinci Olivetti but in general they are the same hardware!!!

After few testings, my apps works fine in several compatible Palm PDA running Os version 3.5.0 or greater.

Here you can see how to see your PDA Os version:

With the "pen" push "menu" icon (left bottom one)
In the top menu, push "App" one and then "info"
In the "info" window push "Version" button
In the "Version window you can see OS version...

Well, if all is ok, you are able to load all my apps and you will have now a new app group called "FPR_Devel"
Inside it you will see each app icon you have to hit qith the pen if you want to run it...

The latest bversions of my apps is v1.2 for f3b and 1.0 for f3f

Well, i hope you will see this interesting and i wish you enjoiy it a lot...
