OT-2 VS Rev for iPhone Users

Has anyone done a comparison between the OT-2 and Rev apps for the iPhone that connect to your OBD-II port?

I'm really interested to see an in depth review of the different wireless OBD-II kits and apps. I want to make this my next purchase but don't know where to start with all of the different options out there.

REV.

i think they pretty much does the same thing except the OT-2 has a gauge showing A/F ratio in "12.7" instead of on the REV where it shows +/- % of the A/F ratio. judging from the screen shot of the LogWorks.

The LogWorks app is actually free btw, but I'm not sure if it works only with OT-2 wifi or can it work with Kiwi wifi. I'll download it and find out tonight.

EDIT: just tried it. LogWorks only works with OT-2 hardware. also the code reader is not as good as REV and the gauge choice is limited to a/f, boost and few other items where REV allows you to choose from almost all monitors.

I used this for my 3G and it worked well. It actually came with two extensions that make it closer to you. Unfortunately I have a iPhone 4 now and it doesn't work. I'll sell it if anyones interested.
