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.

Just get the KiWi WiFI dongle, works great with REV.

Frank what are you using to hold the iphone? I do a lot of talking while im stuck in traffic on my sweet commute to work and am looking for a nice device to hold/charge the phone that can be cleanly mounted.

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.
