#1 Dammit, now I'm going to have to surrender and get an iPhone. I've held out for years against Blackberries and iPhones, and even refused to get the internet package for my Palm Treo because my life is too uncomplicated to need such things, but this app is too cool for words.

#2 I thought they had kind of maxed out this sort of thing in Iraq, with officers and NCOs going through about six generations of tactical field computer pads, to do everything from direct small unit UAVs, to maps, secure commo, etc.

#5 Am i the only one who sees the potential downside of such an App. This is an I-phone App and it will cost probably $.99 to $3.99 or so. Terrorits and Guerillas specialize in taking what exists in the environment and modifying it to there desired outcome. I fear this could be used to make our enemy more lethal. Sometimes what helps also hurts.
