oh good, I'm not the only one

NY Times has an article on Dynolicious, for iPhone, lets you record the 1/4 mile times of cars via the iPhone’s accelerometer.

Or anything else you happen to be riding in…

Airbus 320

0-60 11.82s

1/4 mi 19.11s @ 106.5 mph

Boeing 737-500

0-60 12.92s

1/4 mi 20.01s @ 95.4 mph

Airbus 319

0-60 13.18s

1/4 mi 20.4s @ 93 mph

Boeing 757

0-60 13.52s

1/4 mi 20.56s @ 97.7 mph

Boeing 747-400

Accelerometers are cool. How else would you end up knowing these numbers? What other machines — elevators, roller coasters, ferries, etc — would generate interesting results?
