This app detected the bullet I have lodged in my back! Good way to win a bet.

There is a paid one on the market as well, that works even better.

This app really does work. I didn’t believe it at first myself but it can find the screws in my foot through my shoes. Really neat concept, kind of creepy but a worthy addition to the Android.

Fun app, I had no idea that the phone had this ability, and I want to know more of how it work. I’m guessing electromagnetic fields?

I’m not sure of the usefulness of the app in the real world, but it’s something to make iPhone peeps jealous :-P

since when has the redesigned G1 been out? I don’t ever remember it being released. I was under the impression that it would only be available in Europe but don’t remember hearing an announcement that you could buy it yet.

I’m the author of Tricorder for Android… you might want to give it a try. I’ve had people detecting pins in bones with it. (Really.)

I was able to detect metal studs under plasterboard, for better shelf mounting. Used GPS Status app for this, Metal Detector was released 2 days after my post at xda-developers. Coincidence? :) Good app, anyway.
