@salimmimouni Thanks for your comment. We've actually been developing pulse-based software for many years - check out some of our other videos such as "Pulse Room", "Pulse Front", "Pulse Phone", "Pulse Index" and "Pulse Park". Pulse Phone is our latest development, and there are many more to come, so keep an eye out. Best of luck with your app!

Don't work for the old 3G?

@seriago Unfortunately the app runs on iOS 4.1 so 3G is not a possibility. The best platform for the app is the iPhone 4 because the flash really helps. We just posted more info on the app at the URL in the description.

I was really sceptical and am pleasantly surprised at how well it works. I found that holding the iP4 in my left hand with the flash/lens lightly resting on the tip my index finger gave the best and most consistent results. The results do vary with pressure, so resting provides greater consistency. I'd really like to see the app include graphing of results. Great for monitoring resting heart rate after waking. I hope it gets developed or the tech is picked up by a more sport focussed developer.

@Antimodular it is a useful application, keep developing. Good luck for your apps !

@Antimodular, No problemo! I'm obviously over due for an upgrade... hopefuly Apple will come up with an even newer version after them holidays.

Thanks and keep up the good work!
