    I've noticed some OBDII scan tool apps for the Palm. Has anyone seen an OBDII scan tool for the Storm? I'm guessing some sort of OBDII to micro USB cable would be needed too.

    it doesnt use a usb cable, rather requires the OBDII-bluetooth elm interface, but there is such a thing!

    It would be nice if they had an Ostrich Storm capable program. The fact that the Ostrich system lets you tune on the fly with a laptop would be even cooler if you could just hook up micro USB to that thing and tune on your phone. THAT would make buying a second Storm all the worth while. Honestly, if it could be done for ANY handheld device, I'd buy said device.

    This kinda falls in line with the Telnet app I posted a while back. If you have to ask what it does, you probably don't need it. Glad you looked it up though.

    A OBD-II scan tool has several uses. It's main purpose is to communicate "error codes" to you when your car has a check engine light on (there are numerical codes that indicate lean/rich air-fuel ratio, timing issues, problems in the air intake or fuel systems, etc.). It can also clear the car's log of these issues, effectively turning off the check engine light.

    I wonder if LapLogger is CAN-OBDII compatible, as my car was one of the first vehicles to start using the CAN-OBDII interface (it's been a b*tch self-diagnosing it, since all the CAN-OBDII scanners were super expensive around the time I first bought one)

    some of the newer OBDII dataloggers used bluetooth, so in theory, no cable hanging around.
    but they are still pricey and only palm or pocketpc based

    here is software that is java based and supposedly supports the blackberry for $19.50

    Auto Mobile - OBD software for cell phones

    you still need the bluetooth obd connector.

    not sure, this is what it lists--

    Interface supports VPW(GM), PWM(Ford), ISO and CAN all in one.
