Lightning

The original Android Lightning distance calculator.  Press the top button when you see the flash, press the bottom one when you hear the thunder.  The distance is shown in Miles and KM, up to 20 Miles.  If you like, you can also start and stop the timer with the Camera button, trackball, or D-Pad.

Fun and educational, it's also useful for outdoor activities where lightning may be a hazard (handy for lifeguards, referees, playground helpers, etc.).

Not recommended for artillery spotting...

        **** SECURITY NOTICE ****

Lightning uses the following permissions ONLY:

  Storage
    Modify/delete SD card contents.  Not that it really *does* anything with the SD card...

  System tools
    Prevent phone from sleeping

  Phone calls
    Read phone state and identity

The last one is a result of building for Android 1.6 compatibility - Lightning does *NOT* actually access the phone information in any way.
