Business idea #2: Built in scale

Yet another foot-related idea.
Insoles for shoes, that can measure how much you weigh and transmit that data to an ipod.
These inserts would take into account that people may stand with more weight on one side, or may put more weight to the back or front, so there would be some programming involved. Hopefully nothing too technical for this invention.

Even if this shoe insert were to take an average between left and right, front and back, I would think the end result would still be a fairly accurate weight measurement.
To add to its usefulness, if this data could be sent to an iphone it would be useful for many people to monitor their weight. The iphone app would be utilized to do much of the computing and decoding of the data to come to an accurate weight measurement. That way the in-shoe sensors can contain less electronics and would not require a processor since the mobile application would calculate based on the data supplied.

...more strange ideas to come!
