<div style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255); MARGIN: 0px; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-SIZE: 12px">I know that this is a little off topic, and has probably been discussed here before, but we used the Iphone geocaching app for the first time today to find and log a cache. No other GPSr with us. We found and logged 3 caches at Water Ranch while doing some IR photography. It worked so well that I suspect that the vast majority of my geocaching will just be with the Iphone. If there is a Droid version that works as well as the Iphone one, it will be a winner. <br>
<br>As for the droid, I was an early adopter of the Iphone, and can't see myself using any other phone unless something truly earth-shattering comes out. I see nothing on the horizon that will be that phone yet, but if I hadn't already jumped into the Iphone world, the droid would be very interesting. <br>
