Punch-O-Meter Game for the iPhone Hits the App Store

Punch-O-Meter from DoApp is the latest in a wide range of ‘party’ games to hit the iPhone. I call it a party game because it’s one of those games you’d pull out at your friends place and say ‘Hey, you gotta try this…’ Then a friend passes it to another, and another… You get the idea.
In Punch-O-Meter, the premise is to throw an ‘air punch’ with your iPhone (or iPod Touch) in your hand. The app calculates a score based on your accuracy, speed and strength. Challenge your friends and colleagues to see who can punch out the highest score. You can challenge others via email, SMS or in an old school in-person battle.
The app looks like good times, however I would be hesitant to throw a punch with my beloved iPhone in my hand. What happens if the phone slips and goes flying across the room? I can see a few iPhones getting destroyed as a result of this app. Perhaps the folks over at DoApp need to sell the app with a wrist-strap, much like the Nintendo Wii controller? 
Punch-O-Meter is available for only $0.99 in the App Store. Click here to get it (iTunes link alert).
Seriously.. Really? You will look like a fool if you get this app. I sometimes wonder whom iphone is targeted for? I feel it is for bunch of dorks. Seriously. I mean come on.. Are you kidding me? Take a look at that random restaurant chooser iphone T.V commercial. While you may think it is cool to shake your iphone to choose a restaurant but you haven’t realized that you will look like a fool in front of others.
Hats off to the height of another stupid app.
Seriously.. Really? You are so insecure that you cannot see the fun of doing something new and different with your phone in front of others? You cannot really be so self conscious that you wouldn’t be able to turn that around into a humorous situation to meet some new people. Get a life buddy.
