I can see exotic applications for this but certainly not enough to put
it into the phone. If you need it, add it via USB host, that's what
we've got it for. (Same is true for the railgun. ;) )

Hi,
Err, doesn't GPS give us a pretty accurate altitude already
Actually, implementing a railgun would probably be feasible as long as
the projectile weight and powerload is taken into consideration. I'm
not sure if the battery can handle multiple +1 gram projectiles though.
And not to mention the need for a new chasis with space for a PCB
with series of capasi
GPS does give relatively accurate altitude/speed but it does have
error and is nowhere near as accurate as a calibrate barometer (since
an aircraft altimeter is just a barometer with a different face).
Assuming someone has a data plan you can get the barometric pressure
from a nearby airpor

the precision is something like +/- 20 me

I vote for a railgun ^^

I like the idea.
I was looking at Suunto watches a while back, and I think they had some
Hi,
I am wondering about applications possible with the Freerunner
(connected via usb) or later phone models, if a barometric altimeter
would be included. A potential barometric device might be this one.
