| | | mobile phone wildlife related applications
Has anyone discovered and applications for Iphone / Blackberry or other swanky type phones that are useful for people interested in wildlife or the great outdoors?
I have an Iphone with some useful bits and pieces. One is called 'chirp' which is good for those learning birdsong, one called pUniverse' which is good for learning your constellations and one for geocaching too which is fun when out and about 
Has anyone else found anything interesting or maybe you've just got thoughts on this new kind of media that can be utilised in the field? |

I still have a bog standard pay as you go motorolla phone on vodafone and thinking of upgrading to somthing a bit more all singing all dancing like a blackberry and something with a wildlife feel would be excellent.
not interested in downloading music on it as got past that stage! but if it tells me something interesting about the natural world and includes any bird song i would subscribe tonight!  |

You dont necessarily need an iphone or clone to enjoy such things. I've got two versions of songs and calls of British Birds on an ordinary phone which are very useful when we're out and about. |

I've got one for the IPhone by BirdGuides called "Garden Birds" it's not bad as a quick field guide. cost around £5.99. the other was IDentify but that was considerably dearer at around £35 but has to be loaded on to the ipod section, excellent reference and video but stores it in a bit of a messy way. Hope this helps
Jeanette

New Birdguides iphone/touch app launched today, looks pretty good and doesn't cost the earth, any takers want to provide feedback? | | |
