Scale as in step on your iPhone and it tells you what you already know... you're fat?

Or scale as is a measurement comparing system?

Or scale as in it will help clean your fish after a catch at your lake house?

Err, I just did a Google search for 'iphone scale app' and it seems that this is a program for weighing 'items' up to 5g. The icon for the app seems to be a cannabis leaf.

Oh, I see, a scale for potheads and dealers. Now I (won't) get it.

I can't see it being accurate enough for any dealer that doesn't want to get beat up or worse....... but I've been wrong before.

Search "Scale Application" in app store for an app which can weigh an object placed on the iphone screen.

How the HELL is that supposed to work with a capacitance screen?

This spammer is selling a joke app.

Not a joke app. The app does not use the touch screen. Instead it uses the accelerometer and the vibration of the phone. You can read more about the method at alexmorganbell.com/scaleapp.html

Yes. Since it uses the accelerometer, you'll have to throw them at the phone, though.

The link Philm posted now goes to a generic "pay me for hits" site. I think the unnatural lifespan of this thread has now been exceeded.
