Accelerometer in the Nokia N95

An interesting video, showing how work accelerometer in the Nokia N95.



It is unclear why this opportunity was in the shadows and why Nokia have not fully integrated it with the phone yet.


Many applications can be writen, used this feature. Beginnig from games, finishin useful utilites.
For example, turn off ring (btw, want's cool ringtones? :), when phone taked.
 
But I'm only known RotateMe 2.0, which adds the functionality a la iPhone - will rotate the screen depending on the orientation of your phone.
