First App: TreadCalc!

My first app for iPhone -- TreadCalc -- is live in the iTunes store! It's a little utility I developed for when I have to run on a treadmill and want to know what speed to set to run a given distance in a given time. There are other apps in the store that do this, of course, but I think mine is the only one that does it all on one screen -- no settings, no info; nothing but you, a few buttons (for switching between miles, kilometers, and time entry), and a couple of dials. As a bonus, you can use it as miles-to-kilometers conversion calculator, at least for distances up to 26.9 miles (just over the length of a marathon).
