Wind Meter - use your iPhone to estimate wind speed. Wind Meter works by measuring the volume of the wind on your iPhone microphone and converts it into a wind speed reading.
As quoted by Kitelife Magazine:
"In our own field tests here at Kitelife, we found that in a relatively consistent wind speed of 3-28 mph, the Wind Meter app was surprisingly accurate."
Quotes from other real world users:
“Was at Seaside on the weekend and a guy had the app. We put it up next to a wind meter and was only off from the wind meter by 1 mph--pretty impressed.”

“works real good; pretty accurate side by side with other handheld meters. seems to have better averaging [as compared with skywatch]”

To use, simply point the microphone into the wind and push Get Wind! Wait a few seconds and push Got Wind! The final reading is the average of the period. Note: the application appears upside down so you can read the meter while the microphone is pointed into the wind.
