Here is a bit
of software that can put any U.S. NOAA tide prediction right on your cellphone
in the informative graphic format normally seen only on chartplotters
or PCs. Sun and moon info is included, and you can even have the phone
ring you at a custom time interval before or after high tide, sunset,
etc. So far the Salt Water Tides service, which costs $5 a month, is only
available to Verizon cell users who have Motorola or LG phones capable
of downloading “Get It Now” applications, but think of it as
the beginning of a flood. Developer ekkosoft.us and others are hard at
work dreaming up novel marine uses for handsets, which are rapidly becoming
little computers, GPS-equipped to boot. Yes, heaven help us, a Windows
phone-operating system does exist, and at least one cellphone “plotter”
will come to market this year.
