A lot of people only think in 2 dimensions when developing an iPhone/Android app, but in reality these devices are much more capable when used in pair with a physical device. For instance, Square Inc. developed the portable credit card reader that plugs into smart phones via the headphone jack and allows users to accept payments.

Using this basic idea, who would be interested in a high quality tire-pressure gauge that plugs into a smartphone to use the screen as a display as well as add other cool functionality? This could be done for not much money.

Thought it was a cool idea and would see what the community thought.
