there's insufficient info so nobody knows. you should know the core functionality of the app and then we'd be much wiser.

Very interesting. I ve heard about it again in the past, I think that it' s already exists for symbian. Forgive me if I'm wrong.
Yeah it exists. It works on devices with integrated gps(n900)

It uses built-in compass to work, couldn't find more info about it.
Anyone wanna try it out?

Problem is the metal detector apps use the phones built in Magnetometer(Digital Compass) to function. This is also a piece of hardware the N900 doesn't have.
Can't be done.

It works well on Android. But since, I think, it uses the compass, it cannot be done on the N900.

Is it confirmed that it uses the digital compass? what about non-magnetic metals?
could it in fact be using the microwave transmitter/receiver?
edit: just wanted to update that we know that these apps aren't serious or could actually do a useful job - but it's just interesting to know the phenomenon

What about the magnet that reads if screen are open or closed?
Can't you hook it and read the values or something? (im just brainstorming)
