Verituner on pocket pc?

That´s what I don´t understand (I never tuned with an ETD). The ETD measures 
how low the pitch is and calculates an overpull factor. Then you overpull a 
note and continue the tuning. After continuening an  octave or so the tunded 
notes are detuned again. This detuning is not measured again, right? So, the 
device anticipates how strong the lowering will be, that´s all as I 
understood that. A personal look up table seems to be a good option for 
improoving the predicted lowering.

There are a lot of tuners using vt 100, but it seems that there are only a 
few collegues who use it on pocket pc. I am still looking for opinions about 
that possibility. Should have reasons that it is like it is (that the 
harware version is preferred).

'A bit off topic, but I am really glad to have found this mailing list. So 
many themes are discussed in a constructive manner. Here in Germany there is 
a forum from the German guild, but nobody sends posts. Just boaring. Here 
live more than 80 million inhabitants but only 60 to 80 pianomakers do the 
exam each year. And obviously they don´t like to exchange knowledge and 
thoughts via internet.
