Apple wields ultimate control over applications running on your iPhone. If it doesn’t like an app it flips a “kill switch” that zaps an unpalatable iTunes App off your iPhone in a heart beat. At least that’s the buzz today in the blogosphere about a line of code found inside Apple’s iPhone 2.0 software by independent iPhone developer Jonathan Zdziarski.

Gizmodo recently reported on Dynolicious, the $13 app that uses the iPhone’s accelerometer to meter your car’s performance, and mentioned a few positive impressions that surfaced in the app’s early days. Sure, the idea is appealing and makes theoretical sense, but I at least need vaguely scientific confirmation that this thing actually works well. It is in the spirit of vague science, then, that Garage419 takes Dynolicious out on the track and pitting it against the circuit’s clock as well as the popular G-Tech Pro accelerometer-based dynometer, generally regarded as the industry standard for consumer performance metering.
