Personally I'm waiting for this to come to Maemo. To each their own!

I know! As I said earlier they are the only thing I really really need and then I have to pay for them!

Thats certainly not your usual app. Sounds incredibly intriguing, although hopefully wont be lost in an avalanche of platforming penguins and social networking!

With a light sensor (like the n900 has) you could monitor light levels - is the user skulking in a darkened room? In a bright, fast-moving environment like a busy supermarket?
For the sensory disregulated individual, these things can mean the difference between coping, curling up in a little ball or self harming. A device that could detect the sorts of environments and offer coping strategies could teach people how to manage their own stress. (A dialogue box says "There's a lot of noise: suggest you put your noise reducing headphone on" and the device plays soft music - then opens something like the snowglobe or liqflow) Eventually the user learns to recognise for themselves environments that are stressful and find ways of lowering the stress.

The idea behind it is fantastic, but I cant help but feel that if it's under developed, it could cause more harm then good.
At a very basic level, yes, perhaps it will be able to distinguish between 'calming' environments and 'stressful' one. However, there are far too many variables then what the phone will be able to keep track of.
is the user sulking in a dark room? Is he or she self harming? Or are they simply lying on their bed in a dark room for relaxation? A bright, fast moving environment could be a car ride, a super market, a fair ground, a night club.
Will the choices of the app become obtrusive to a user? The changing of music when not asked for or required, the suggestions beebing through like texts? Does the app have to be 'on' or will it work in the background?
Im sure in time answers, and indeed a more focused direction will come, but for now, whilst it remains thoroughly intriguing, it sounds more like an unattainable pipe dream.

Anyone else realise if you slide up and down in angry birds it zooms out and in. Probably they did but freaked me out first time I accidentally did it.

Loving Angry birds!
Oh and the Black and White theme is sexy! Just wish the background for the last 2 home screens was on the main one! Majority black looks better than majority white!
