iPhone: Dice Bag

First, the interface is as follows.

Your die rolling options are literally what you see: 1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 1d10, 1d12, 1d20, 1d100, 3d6, and 4d6 drop the highest. (I'm assuming. A better icon for that would have been to make the other dice showing fives, and cross out the die showing a six.) You press the screen at the die type you want, there's a dice rolling sound, and the result appears in the lower right corner.
The info button (i) gives you an info screen informing you that it's called Dice Bag and Jeff LaMarche wrote it.
So limited and bare bones. But it does roll dice, so it's gonna keep living on my iPhone. Also, I dig the icons considerably.
What would make this rock a lot: one tap = roll the dice. Double tap = bring up a little config screen, which provides configuration.
"I would like to roll 6d6, and please count the number of dice that beat a four. Sixes add and roll over."
"I would like to roll 5d10, and keep the three highest."
What do you have to cover? FUDGE, Hero, Shadowrun, a couple of flavors of World of Darkness, L5R, Cinematic Unisystem. Should be doable with some decent UI work.
