Tracking results on Iphone. Good apps?

[HockeXpert]

I currently use Excel on an Iphone using Quick Office to log my sessions but MS apps aren't very user friendly or full-featured on the iphone. My log isn't big (~350 sessions) but it takes about a minute to load and a minute to save plus the spreadsheet always starts at the top so I have to scroll down 400 rows and there numerous other gripes I have. I have looked for other spreadsheets or dbase products and haven't anything useful.

Does anyone use something that they are happy with on the iphone to log their sessions? Should I abandon the excel spreadsheet on the iphone and just transfer/copy the session info into a spreadsheet on a computer.

Disclaimer: I hate Bill Gates and his tyranical MS Corp and bloated, resource choking code. I realize that Jobs' Apple products are far superior but haven't found any apps that are comprehensize enough to do all the math I incorporate into my log.

I personally just use the Notepad in my smart phone (or a good ol' regular pen and paper!) to log results mid-session, and then when I can get to my hotel room just input it into my Excel spreadsheet on my laptop. I'd rather have the full-featured Excel 2010 to handle my results, and just use my phone as a temporary logger.

Another more dynamic alternatate to notepad. would be a private-member (non-public) Twitter stream, maybe using Tweet deck for iPhone. The Twitter account set solely for the tracking purpose would contain all sessions in the stream.

Each tweet-session entered via phone would constitute a virtual 'time-stamp'. Possibly more relevant for team collaboration than individual tracking.

If you already access other tweet accounts then Tweet Deck iPhone would be ideal so as not to need logging into multiple accounts. zg

Thanks, ZG! I've been telling my wife, "what the hell is twitter for?". Now I know.

Btw, if you ever want to make yourself sound like you're a hell of lot older than you really are, add "the" to a new, "in" thing. Such as "so, have you checked out THE Facebook yet?" or "I was using THE Twitter the other day".

I played THE card-count system in Vegas recently. zg
