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 
)
