π calculator

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?

I have no idea, but you could call it something like : π Connoisseur!

π is just a number isn't it? nothing to calculate?

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.
