I told Meg the other day that I'd take a look at XLR8, a $0.99 entertainment app currently rocking 5-star ratings over at the app store. The app uses a mix of GPS and accelerometer readings to simulate racing car sounds as you drive around town.
What you do is this: You hook up the phone to your car's sound system, you place it in a firm mount, and then you press start and wait for the electronic voice to give you clearance to drive ahead. It then monitors movement to match your driving to vroomy vroomy sounds.
If it worked well and less obviously pandered to in-app sales, this would be a really cute app. The problem is, of course, that it didn't work well,
