Hi,
I responded privately, but since it seems others are interested I have
posted it here.
I have written an app that records times and names for sailing events, but
is fairly generic. It then outputs to the memopad or serial port.
It is called RaceTimes and can be found at http://www.palmgear.com
(Currently has a broken link to download the demo and have been waiting for
palmgear to fix it for over a week now, so email me directly if you need a
copy)
