    iPhone fascination

    Installed this little application called sensors that displays the accelerometer information x,y,z as numerical data with an arrow pointing the general direction. So sensitive... Sat in upstairs, the accelerometer detects the smallmest movements, I know when someone is walking around the house...

    Another interesting bit of software detects footsteps walked using the accelerometer and a rather neat algorithm, work perfectly.

    N95 the ball is in your court...

          With any luck the accelerometer numbers will jump off the scale every time Scotland puts the ball in the back of the net...

              I used an iPhone the other day in an O2 shop.

              Thought it did some things averagely, but was disappointed with it really.

                I mean does it display the rate of change of acceleration too? What’s the highest acceleration you’ve had?

                The accelerometer would be very handy to work out how fast you are travelling in a lift, and for working out what floor you are on without needing to look at the lift numbers. If you throw it up in the air you should see it’s in free fall on both the upward and downward path. The possibilities for fun are endless, but that’s all I can think of at the moment.

                Have you tried posting to CUK with it yet?

                  Who would be dumb enough to buy an iPhone? I spoke a friend in Canada, there the network demands a three year contract!!

                    I think the battery is designed not to be easily replacable too.
