I made an iPhone app called "HammerTime!"

Round #1 instructs you to place your phone on a hard surface, find a hammer of any kind, and hit your phone as hard as you can.

Rounds #2 and up instructs you to repeat Round #1.

A permanent blank screen indicates you have won and you may receive a prize (a brand new iPhone!!) if you can convince Apple your phone is malfunctioning because of something they did.




Bathroom Scale HD: shows a single footprint; users stand on one foot on their iPad, see their weight.

Lots of opportunity for evolution/addl features: time series, weight by time of day, etc. Just one little problem.


Stress Meter: place a pillow on the couch, throw your iPhone at the pillow, check stress score based on acceleration, top speed and deceleration. Requires initial calibration in unstressed condition.


Another feature: broken screen
