We are about to launch the manufacturing of the Scuba Capsule dive computer for smartphones, and it would be great to know what you think about its features. Please take a look at the specs, and let me know if there is anything else we can possibly add to make it truly the best dive computer ever. We at Utmost are seriously into diving of all types and we want to have the best. Smartphones are much more powerful and easily upgradable, not to mention the media capabilities. We'd love to hear feedback from all types of divers.....

scuba capsule - The World's First All-In-One Dive Computer
Its been practically a year and no actual manufacturing has taking place. I must say to the UTMOST INDUSTRIOUS TECHNOLOGIES team that sometimes is best to focus
one simple goal. I understand that making a good thing take time, but making many good things takes even more (i.e., three different versions of a case to turn an iPhone into a dive computer with everything under the sun). Since October 2011 when this was about to be launched for manufacturing, a new version, the iPhone5, has been produced; this means customers will be even more skeptic about purchasing this product. Focusing on main stream divers, recreational divers, the young ones, seems to be a much more simple goal. I believe they will be slinging Angry Birds, re-playing practical jokes at each other on a safety stop, sending media as soon as they surface and so on. On that note, I also believe that a practical, seasoned technical diver who has spent a bit of money and years of training having had a few close-calls at that, will not be too amused by many of these features at depth while carrying three blends and a deco bottle.
I've been following this for a while now, and quite frankly I've lost interest. Now, with the release of the iGills, the Scuba Capsule final product is starting to look more like the Time Capsule. As of today, 11552 people likes the Scuba Capsule on Facebook-the idea sells, yet, other than a quarter million dollars prototype, and a crowd funding (
Scuba Capsule Beta Test Program : Utmost Industrious Technologies) stating that you need at least 100 registered members to deposit the one-time joining fee of $500.00
which I could not find under (
Crowdsourcing and Crowdfunding - The Industry Website), there is nothing out. What are your thoughts, is the team pressing forward with this all-or-nothing approach or will they consider focusing on a good entry level product and getting something in the market soon?
