Mobile phone for leveling and checking angles?

[^woody^]

Can your mobile check that shelf, measure those rafter angles, set your washing machine level, etc etc?

No?

Well you need a new HTC Touch Diamond and this software

From here

I'll be on a level checking quest tomorrow. lol

Pretty neat, not sure how accurate it will be but probably good fun for a few hours

how is it supposed to know at what angle it is at?

The phone has a built-in inclinometer/accelerometer.

There is also a rather addictive game like one of those wooden maze/ball-bearing games - you tilt the phone to move the [virtual] bearing. People tend to stare and avoid you when its being played.

is it real or a wind-up/gimmick?

It actually works.

There are a couple of other similar programs available, but the one above is the most polished one.
