Hello community,

--- BEGIN DISCLAIMER ---
I just got my n900 with plans to develop things for it. I've being developing for Ubuntu for a long time and never really cared about cell phones (I had a nokia 3410 bf. the n900.. lol). But well. things change.
--- END DISCLAIMER ---

In the same way as many users here, I wanted to start with something *really* simple so.. here comes the n900Fly..

Start the app and throw your phone into the air, it will show how long was the "flight" and a naive estimative of its height.
(Yes, I got the idea from the much "acclaimed" iPhone Hangtime)

It is pretty damn simple (the free-fall *detector* deserves improvement) and "fun".

.deb for freemantle/n900:

Files:

Screenshot:


I thing with some improvements (including a good disclaimer excluding any responsibilities for the developers if you crack ur phone playing with this) it could become one of the first "idiot n900 apps"

Enjoy, report bugs, send fixes... anything..

C ya!

ha ha ha really sounds like a runner up for the "idiot-app" title

Must say I wouldn't mind playing this game with an iPhone but I'm pretty reluctant of doing it with my n900

Hey! The idea of taking a picture "up there" is good.
The problem is finding "when" it is "up there". What I could thing right now is to take many pictures during the "flight" and then when the phone lands pick the one in the middle.

I'll study this more.. but for sure it is a good idea!

Lol...
The hello ***ers is there just for historical reasons.
It all started with a "Hello World" label.. and hmm... "Hello World" had it's time.. it's not fun anymore.
