Ballistic Calculator

Just a couple of questions.
Does anyone have an Iphone 4 or any Android phone and if so, which if any Ballistics apps are you using, how is it working and is it worth the coin spent on it.

I have found a couple including a Mildot reticule calculator which will do range finding and corrections.

My .223 is getting a new Nikko Sterling scope with Mildot reticule for long range bunnies, magpies and Plovers so I wouldn't mind getting something to make matters more even.

I am working on an Android version of PointBlank as we speak. The core ballistics engine is working and displaying currently, I'm now just writing the graphical draw routines for the energy, wind drift charts etc etc. After those are done I will get the Range Data target stuff done.

Its going a little slow, I had some crazy medical issues recently that I had to deal with.

So far, I have been running my loads through PointBlank, making a screen capture of the data and transferring it to my Thunderbolt as a JPEG. It makes a quick reference in the field but of course can't compute changes. It makes a pretty good stop-gap measure for now.
