Just wondering whom has this? Just got it now and being 19.99 I thought it might be a bit expensive but using it for the first time today for the Canada GP let's hope it's worth it!

WOW it was a free app on the iPhone!?!?

Thought it was 19.99 from reading the Op?

There are several but I believe the official one is 19.99 but has al sorts of other stuff interactive maps and timing screens etc

[What's Burning?]

Well they have an official one for free with the F1 logo all over it, the exact format they use in timing and scoring on the F1 site. No maps though.

[Jb2009]

Ah that's prob the difference, maps show the cars and sector times etc along with news and text commentary.
Not bad it worked well in practice and qualifying over this weekend.

Anyone got one of these ?.I have heard pros and cons for them but don't know anyone that has one to see if they're worth it.I know you can't multi task,no flash and no 3g.From what I can make out apart from a camera they're about it's only faults.

Well yes I have one had it about a week now and used the live timing app yesterday it was pretty good having the data that the pitwall have to see.
Your right there's no Flash but that's an ongoing saga between apple and adobe.
Multi tasking is coming apparently!.
They do have 3G you just have to buy that specific model and then a data micro sim card to use in it. I on the other hand have a unlimited data plan with t-mobile so I use my Nokia E72 as a hotspot and connect with that, works fine and saved myself £100 over the 3G model.
Camera kit can be bought separately.

there is 2 official F1 apps on the App store,
theres the F1 app with map and other wanky things which isnt worth the price when you can download the free F1.com live timing app which does the same job.
