I have also used my iPod in the field (for pure tune enjoyment), but before I got my new one the original one I had was one of the older black and white ones that did not manage photos. I might have to give that a try!ReBecca Hunt-Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05531577104733601336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578322515370564452.post-14824289071852881102008-12-27T16:57:00.000-07:002008-12-27T16:57:00.000-07:00This is true.

I guess it depends on your preference. And if you have an iPhone to even start out with.ReBecca Hunt-Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05531577104733601336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578322515370564452.post-57916726195244940382008-12-27T16:56:00.000-07:002008-12-27T16:56:00.000-07:00I forgot to point out that I have used my iPod cla...I forgot to point out that I have used my iPod classic in the field. You can load and display color photos on the most recent iPods, and I used it to load historical photos of vertebrate localities that I was then able to match up in the field! At the time, I didn't have access to a decent printer, so the iPod was the easiest way to carry the photos in the field.220myahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403919493457640549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578322515370564452.post-82957055101878323152008-12-27T16:52:00.000-07:002008-12-27T16:52:00.000-07:00I guess if you're serious about the iPhone clinome...I guess if you're serious about the iPhone clinometer, you could invest in a solar charger - or use the cigarette lighter attachment in your car to charge the iPhone.220myahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403919493457640549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578322515370564452.post-90186194213125244132008-12-27T14:49:00.000-07:002008-12-27T14:49:00.000-07:00LOL.

I also usually enjoy that I get no cell service in most field areas, but it has been nice to have it a few times when I have been by myself*, stuck in deep sand and in need of rescue. <BR/><BR/>The iPhone clinometer is neat, but John pointed out to me that all of the gadgets on your phone do no good when your battery runs out. ;) <BR/><BR/>*which I know is not smart usually in the first placeReBecca Hunt-Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05531577104733601336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578322515370564452.post-65161836324227134362008-12-27T14:43:00.000-07:002008-12-27T14:43:00.000-07:00Personally, I rather enjoy that there's no cell se...Personally, I rather enjoy that there's no cell service in most of my field areas. . .I have a rock hammer designated "Thor, the Cell Phone Destroyer" for any of my students who think it's a good idea to bring one into the field. Guess I'm just old fashioned.<BR/><BR/>But I will confess that the iPhone clinometer is pretty cool!Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16171447306687358664noreply@blogger.com
