iScale App
It did work, as I said, between about 3 and 5 pounds, which is worthless.
It was sensitive to what kind of surface you put it on, which is why it was not accurate below 3 pounds.
Below one pound, it was not sensitive at all.
Yes, different iphone = different motors, characteristics, etc...so you would need a calibration sequence built into the application.
If anyone can figure out how to make it better, go for it.

Really the only way I'll beleive this is even remotly possible is if you post a video. Besides -
Post scale - $15.00
iPhone - $299.00 plus associated cost
If you're that hard up, get a postal scale and don't use your phone for deals.
With the 3.0 software update, expect to see a company make a scale that plugs into the dock connector.

Get off the high horse buddy. The screen not being pressure sensitive was duly noted (and your post with big text was obnoxious), and your third point doesn't even make sense, as he didn't object to the thread continuing.

False.
It uses the methods described by questrillion earlier. Hardly accurate and hardly a scale. I'd be a better judge using my hand and taking a guess.
Alright then, so how does this work?
If this is so impossible, how does the guy from Bahntech do it?

Likely the same way as mentioned before. Vibrating and using statistical test to measure the difference in phone acceleration with different weights present.
