I was interested in making an application that would calculate and display π on your iPod a while back, but when I looked up the formulas on Wikipedia, I didn't understand any of it at all. Could someone explain how this could be done?

it has been calculated to over 51 billion digits, so far with no discernible pattern emerging from its numbers.
John Reid's π Unrolled (from wikimedia commons)
August 2010: π 5 trillion digits and calculated on a home computer. (took approx. 3 months)
Might be interesting to see what a handheld could do with that irrationality...might also cause some problems! So try 1st for π to 1000 digits.
