Citius. Altius. Fortius. This app is great. We could have an N900 Olympics. Who can throw it farthest, highest, most time in the air? Combine it with some protective cover, and you've got the marketing taken care of.

It seems that I cannot reply in the downloads website: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/n900fly , so I will comment here about problems with n900fly.
I installed the program, started it and threw my n900 in the air couple of times (1-2 meters). Nothing happened. All numbers still 0.0 after the throw. Rebooted N900 and tested again. Still nothing. Installed AccDisplay to make sure that accelerometer works. Accelerometer seems to work.
The app seems nice and I am having quite fun with it. Sorry about the one star in the download site, but the site does not seem have option to change rating.

No prob "Petteri",
Just say so there..
Weird this acc bug on your device.. but anyway.. if it's gone... it's gone.
Enjoy!

hi,
this is a great app, i've been doing some testing with it and noticed a few issues iwth its flight detection algorithm
i have been using liqacceltests to graph the flights and accelerometer variables and for have some ideas why detection is a bit wrong.
(it seems to get more 0.04s 1cm type throw ranges than actual decent ones)
btw personal best with your app 1.31m, wheres the global high score table
wrapping n900 inside sleeping bag case provides good protection, but your app doesnt detect the flight correctly.
we were throwing unprotected so hard last night it hit the roof o_O thats when i started wrapping it.

Well, just for the sake of completeness (physics):
I agree with the statement: "
If there was only constant acc towards earth, the N900 would never be able to get away from it.
There is a time when there is acc in the opposite direction of earth and ( oppositeAcc - g (9.81m/s) > 0 ) ----> the throw. (simplified)
Therefore, the acc is not constant, if my measurment begins with the throw.
You are welcome to discount this.
Is this already used to initiate the App?

Sorry, just being really anal about technicalities here.

I have so much fun with this app, keep up the good work. Thanks.

- you could make the "hello f***ers" message an easter egg with a key combination
- to get the photo at the highest point, you can make a video and extract the frame at (flight-time)/2 (assuming you catch the phone at the same height it left your hands)..

I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out what is wrong with the quoted statement
