How many threads do we need on this freaking topic. Buy a digital and move along. I own several.... Sorry to be harsh but its a bit lame IMO. Besides who wants their product to stick to the greasy finger print residues...

yea, but honestly...you know we have to press with some force on our phones to get a SIP input...

I doubt this things could measure accurately measure 10 grams..... (or 5 for that matter).

I'd love an explanation of how a "gyro" could measure weight.

the same way we did it before digital scales. basically it becomes a balance scale.

I still don't see it. Placing anything on the phone won't allow the "gyro" to sense any change as far as I can tell. This would only work if you actually used the phone as a real balance scale, which would necessitate fairly precise placement of a pencil or something underneath as a fulcrum, right? It might also require accurate reference weights. Under this theory, my pager can also be used as a balance scale.

Besides, the Touch Pro doesn't contain any actual gyros, does it? Aren't the position sensors accelerometers?

Exactly (although i gotta admit this would be an easier task on the i, better balanced )

have you looked at the calibrator or simple level tool? something to do with magnetic fields, something, something gravity.
a gyro require constant spinning and a good rpm to density ratio.

This app is currently in development. Also coming soon is an app to turn your winmo device into a 50,000 volt tazer and a stapler.
