Seismometer is a 59p utility that uses the iPhone and iPod touch's internal accelerometer to measure vibrations like a normal seismometer. It's absolutely pointless, but that's the beauty.

A similar land-based seismometer is already in place on one of the Farallon Islands 30 miles west of San Francisco, and has shown that the northern segment of the San Gregorio is seismically active.
