I am looking at purchasing a dedicated long range computer. I currently have Ballistic AE on iPhone any suggestions appreciated

It may be helpful to let folks know your budget. The software and hardware recommendations can range from $10 to $2000.
I use Field Firing Solutions on a Pharos 565. The program is excellent for ELR, and the Pharos is affordable, yet has bluetooth and an accurate GPS.

ColdBore or FFS are the two best options.
I can recommend a Kestrel running Applied Ballistics as well - then you get environmental data + wind + ballistics calculator, then just need to add range. And its usually less expensive than FFS + Nomad or other rugged PDA.
Kestrel 4500NV
Applied Ballistics Mobile or go with the AB Kestrel 4500NV
in a nomad trimble of course
How would you compare those two to the Kestrel AB?
They are both better, far more robust.
I have been running the AB Kestrel alongside Coldbore using a Windows Phone. (CB syncs to a desktop, PDA, and Phone ) and while the Elevation for both are very good, I find the wind calls not matching up as well with the AB Kestrel. Something in its wind calculations are lacking. Both CB & FFS have been used by many ( including me) to distances beyond 2000m with stellar results.
In my opinion, Pesja based solutions beat Point Mass every time.

In the case of ColdBore, you can run it on an Windows Phone and nothing is lacking behind, indeed it has new features like full Mapping to use alongside GPS targeting.
aka The No Excuses Setup
Beyond 1000 yards I'll take all the help I can get.?
just wish I could afford the rangefinder for the trimble/kestrel setup I have........
