Metal Detector Android app – definitely something the iPhone can’t do
This is an extremely geeky app. The Metal Detector app available only for Android is exactly what it says on the tin. By making use of the HTC T-Mobile G1’s built-in magnetometer which the G1 uses as a compass, G1 users will be able to customise and configure the app in terms of sound effects, vibrations, sensitivities to their liking.
Check out this demo video put together by the HDBlog:
It seems like the sensitivity won’t be great for users who plan on detecting smaller metal objects, but if its just a case of missing keys, the Metal Detector app running on the G1 should be able to handle it! (Therefore, iPhone users – you don’t need to feel so bad afterall 
)
