I'm currently looking at getting a Shimadzu UV1800 spec, and when I saw you had a "Shimadzu UV" app I took it to mean you had an app to control your specs with an iOS device (wouldn't be unbelievable considering their PC connectivity.) At the very least, I thought it would be a lite version of your UV data analysis software.
Instead it's just a list of a few properties for a few organic solvents and water, a calculator for doing a few kinds of conversions that are totally irrelevant to spectrophotometry, and an ad. I'm not really trying to slam the company here, I just wanted to give my feedback that there are tremendous possibilities to be found in integrating sophisticated science equipment with the sophisticated mini-computers we carry around these days, and it seems a shame that the opportunity in this case was instead squandered on a glorified ad.
