SciFi Channel Releases a Frakking iPhone Cylon Detector
Monday, February 16th, 2009 at 1:43 PM - by Bryan Chaffin

The SciFi Channel through its parent company NBC Universal has released an app called Cylon Detector for iPhone and iPod touch. The promotional app will take a picture of someone and then run a "scan" to see whether or not they are a Cylon. For those living under a rock for the last few years, Cylons are a race of robots that can look human from the hit show Battlestar Galactica.
Users can either take a picture through the Cylon detector or use a photo already stored on the iPhone/iPod touch. You then position and size the face until it matches on-screen guides, and the app will take the face and put it "in a classic Battlestar Galactica scene," along with the verdict on whether or not your subject is human or Cylon.
The results can be saved, downloaded to your computer, and/or sent to a friend.
All the fun and giddy fanboy stuff aside, NBC Universal decided, for some reason, to charge for an application that is naught more than a delightful and fun promotional vehicle for one of their hot properties. That's right, it will cost you US$1.99 -- you can find it on iTunes at the App Store.
