This is really, really cool. Kudos to DLau for getting PlayBook apps like this avaliable for launch.

so thats like a tip calculator for parking meters kinda?

I never really understood the logic behind tip calculators either.

Either way, still a cool app.

Ok this App is far more useful than a Tip Calculator, as I've gotten a lot of tickets by running out of time and not knowing it, so having something notify me that my meter has run out would be useful

BUT that is a heck of a lot of work for that fuction.
Could be done much much easier with a simple parking alarm

^This. Can nobody do simple addition anymore? You have to have the device figure out how much you're going to need to be able to park for a set amount of time?

So let me guess..you're going to pull up to a parking meter and pull out you're Playbook, turn it on, and open this app. You then proceed to decide "Hurmm..ok..how long will I be parking today? Durrr..I think maybe 1 hour. How much will that cost me? $1.50/Hr @ 1 hour = Yay! $1.50! How did I ever live without this!"

10 minutes later and you're still searching for change or your credit card..

I don't know..seems pretty pointless to me. Would be better suited if you just input how long you have and it starts a countdown for you. Oh wait..that's what the stopwatch app I have does..
