The calibration thing is pretty critical also. Have you tried Labyrinth? Now that is unbelievably realistic and fluid. It would also be awesome if it had a little read out that gave a angle callout. THAT would make it incredibly awesome! This could be a really cool app if it were a little more sensitive. The calibration thing is pretty critical also. Have you tried Labyrinth?

So if a measured plane is say 2 degrees off from level, we can know that exactly...?

It definitely needs calibration. Lay it flat on any surface that's a hair off level. When I do this and the bubble is on the left side of the circle, I rotate the iPhone 90 degrees and keep it in the same spot (the phone is still flat) and the bubble is now on the BOTTOM of the circle. If it were a true level, the bubble would stay on the left. Rotate it another 90 degrees and the bubble is on the RIGHT side of the circle. It appears that the back of the iPhone isn't level with the accelerometer inside the phone. Still, it is cool to show off to the friends who think the iPhone is just a gimmick. I just hope they don't ever need me to actually USE my phone as a level. Level's need to be fairly precise. Yup, yup. It definitely needs calibration.

I have to tilt my iPhone about 5 degrees off axis to put the bubble in the center. It is cool. Would be great to always have a level with you, but we need a way to calibrate it.

I couldn't for the life of me find one to hang a picture... so I busted out my touch.. and this little app worked quite handily. Thanks for the good work!
