Android gas sensor application with Bluetooth Low Energy/RFDuino

I have always had a fascination with sensors linked up with mobile devices so it seemed just a good opportunity to try out the latest fashionable technology in the area, Bluetooth Low Energy in the context of a competition. SemiconductorStore.com announced the "We know RFDuino" competition for applications of the RFDuino module. RFDuino is an Arduino module with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support. It is ideal to act as an interface between a sensor and a BLE-enabled mobile device like the Nexus 7.

Eventually I will publish the entire source code of this prototype application on this blog. But as this is a contest, I will wait until the contest ends (Sept. 30). Till then, watch the (very amateurish) video we have prepared about our sensor and the Android application. The entry with the most views wins the contest so if you like the concept, share the video with others! Thanks in advance. :-)
