My phone has Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, MP3, USB, camera, composite video output...but it doesn't have a multimeter.
The damn thing is chock full of DSP, A-to-D and D-to-A converters, shirley it could have a simple multimeter, for those times when, you know, you just have to measure a voltage.

Turn your PDA into a multimeter http://www.engadget...s-into-multimeters/
...and if your cell phone has a CF or PCMCIA slot, then I imagine it will work on that. [DrCurry, May 06 2008]

Damn. Thought this would be an artistic hodgepodge arrangement of dangling electrodes and readout displays :(

No, that would be a "Multimeter mobile".

Oooh, there is a big reading from the flux capacitor in your De Lorean.

Most phones have a battery charge indicator, albeit with fairly low resolution. Should be a simple matter of finding the right connections and bringing them external, adding a switch to go between functions.
