Pretty slick - it can actually tell things like the angle of my PowerBook on the iCurve.

nice find, thanks for the link

this could be real useful for watching dvd's in a car. there was someone here that wanted to mount their laptop upside down in their car, and this could flip the screen for them so they could use it normally.

I can just imagine the games that are going to come out where you control your character by tilting the powerbook....

I remember an old Compaq research project which had a PDA with a motion sensor used to scroll pages or move the cursor around
