iPhones and similarly powerful hand-helds are now changing the way we do things on a daily basis. Now you can use your iPhone to read the wind velocity.
The Wind Meter application for iPhones was developed GoApps. They were the first to come up with this concept of using the iPhone microphone for detecting wind speed about 6 months ago and began working with the necessary sound conversions, algorithms and programmers. It has taken a considerable amount of testing time and program up-dating for this device to give good approximate wind readings.
The remarkable Wind Meter app can be used to check the wind velocity for a multitude of recreational uses such as golf, sailing, boating, kite surfing, wind surfing and many others.
The Wind Meter is a top 10 selling weather apps at iTunes. However, with most golf clubs banning the use of mobile phones while on the course, I see the use of this actual device being limited to reading the wind speed before you start a round, more than other hand-held devices that can be used before each shot.
The Wind Meter costs €78 or $0.99.
