I can think of a bunch of good or "fun" ideas if I could limit to one specific frequency, maybe for the geeks. But still. Maybe testing the 850mHz signal on ATT in my area, for building penetration of coverage distance compared to 1900mHz. Too bad that low level specific hardware isn't open.
The app called antennas is great and the closest thing I know of.
