Science geeks and fitness freaks are going to fight over who loves the new Einstein's Pedometer app more. Fitness freaks will love it because it counts their steps while showing them how many nanoseconds of their lives that they have saved, and science geeks will love it because it is based upon Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
The Theory of Relativity essentially says, among other things, that velocity affects time: The faster you move, the slower time moves. Einstein's Pedometer app is designed to show you just how much time you've saved by taking the stairs instead of the elevator or by walking instead of cabbing it. The time doesn't amount to much, mostly a few nanoseconds, but the app is free and is still pretty neat to show off to your motionless friends.
