Market research indicates that about 60% of watermelons purchased are either not ripe enough or overripe. How can you choose that perfect berry to enjoy its freshness and good taste?
The iPhone Melon Meter App offers a rather radical and unusual solution – sound analysis. It is very easy to use, really, all you need to do is start the program, put the phone’s microphone on the berry of your choice and knock on watermelon, just like your grandmother used to do. Only now you don’t need to listen and try to guess the tone of maturity. The program will do everything for you by comparing the sound of your knock with the recorded and stored in the memory samples of the right "ripeness" sound. A few seconds later you’ll get an instantaneous response from your Melon Meter helper. No miracle – just an IT response to your everyday needs.
