Awesome iPhone App idea

I got an awesome idea for an iPhone application. The objective of the game is to score as high G's as possible; iPhone's have a built-in motion sensor, and it should be possible to record force. Smashing your iPhone to the ground might be a quick and dirty way to score, but it would also ultimately be game over for you, since your iPhone would no longer function and thus have connection to the game/database/etc. So how do you throw your iPhone really hard without destroying it and keeping it alive and functional? You don't necessarily have to "throw" the iPhone either, by the way. As long as you can get your iPhone to experience G's, you're scoring.

Since I do not know the technical workings of an iPhone, I would be unable to comment or suggest as to how the scoring system would work.

But I would say that the more force you can get your iPhone to experience, the higher the score.

That is the stupidest idea I've ever heard...and it would be very difficult considering that you'd have to account for rotation while the device is falling.
 
I think a better app would be to press a button to start the "game", then drop the phone in a bowl of water and watch the counter until the phone stops working. then let us know how long you got.

From what I have found out:"An hour in a hot tub with the iPhone in your pocket but being too inebriated to know, finding out only when your clothes come off (yes it means what it implies), attempting to turn it on, realizing it wont turn on, and throwing it onto the cement deck" leaves the phone broken.... but the SIM card worked :confused:

oh FYI- contacts are NOT SAVED on the SIM card with the iPhone. So make sure you have backups. Luckily the event above happened to 'my friend' after 'he' recently upgraded to 3.0 and 'his' new iPhone picked that up once plugged into iTunes.
 
this app already exists believer it or not, my friend had it on his ipod, forgot what its called, but its pretty lame lol.
 
There's an android app like that too. After swinging my phone around like mad than I realised swinging a $400 piece of electronics around like mad was a stupid idea.
 
How about a self aware AI butler/maid app that will do your personal stuff on social networking/p2p activities for you?
