Guinness World Records app – break records on your iPad

Guinness World Records: At Your Fingertips is a new app from the chroniclers of such vital knowledge as “owner of the earth’s longest toenails” and “most popular book to buy at the last minute in Waterstones for a dad’s Christmas present”. And it actually lets you attempt to break actual world records on your iPad.The app features a trio of challenges: a 100m dash against Usain Bolt in which you use two fingers to beat the 9.58 second world record (we have no idea how this would work); fastest backwards alphabet typing (fair enough); and longest sequence memorised, a memory endurance test.As well as these, the app features a veritable shedload of record-related goodies, including photos, videos and info. You can grab it from the App Store from tomorrow, 16 December, for £2.99. More from Stuff.tv- Equinux Tizi mobile TV hotspot- Karotz – it's Nabaztag reborn- PS3 gets on-demand ITV player and 4oD- Rumour Mill – Mac App Store to be delayed until January 2011- News Nugget – Tascam Portastudio for iPad- Rumour Mill – iPad to have dual cameras- Monsters Tron T1 Daft Punk headphones- Samsung Galaxy Tab buyers to get Christmas freebies- Google unveils test only Chrome OS-powered notebook- Hands on - Google Nexus S
