Scanguage needs a big honkin laptop. PLX Devices uses a wifi network, can be perm attached up under your dash where you don't see it and, when you want to use it, you simply turn on your IPHone or IPod Touch (I use the Touch).

I'd have to wait for the Blackberry version to come out. The Scangauge needs the laptop if you want to download the info, but if you are just interested in looking at instantaneous readouts, it should be good enough and can be mounted somewhere on the dash. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)
