There are a number of apps for Apple, though, that are similar to Carista.


The only work around for that is getting a device that's Wi-Fi enabled. Or, do you have a fairly recently Android phone lying around? Even if it's not activated on your cellular carrier you can still connect the phone to the device via Blue Tooth and the phone to the internet via Wi-Fi (assuming you have internet connection sharing/mi-fi/home wireless router nearby).
