Cool use for iPhone - 0-60

A guy developed a program for the iPhones to detect your car's 0-60 time using its accelerometer. Probably not super accurate but pretty sweet. Someone w/ iphone should try this out and let us know!

So, does it have a "black box" feature so you can tell how good the "last" throw was?

That is the BEST marketing ploy I have ever heard. You ENTICE the owners to breaking the phone so they will buy a new one... cause it's SOOOO much fun throwing it in the air harder and harder

I got PocketDyno and it was pretty close on several runs. Did one run at the track and it said I had 3207 RWHP and hit 100mph in 3.06sec and topped out in the 1/4 at 240.85. . . . I think the phone got banged a bit when at the track the actual pass was about a 12.4.
