I love the idea of adding an accelerometer (and other sensors) to the next gen phone. I just bought an accelerometer addon for my Nintendo DS and it's pretty impressive (even though there hasn't been much development for it, yet. The only situation where I can see the accelerometer being really useful is where Apple is using it: For changing the screen orientation of things according to how you hold the phone. Most other things that come to my mind are games but that's ok since I love games. :D A compass would be very useful, especially since it has GPS already. Those two things connected with an accelerometer and touch and you've got a map that you rotate by rotating the device, tilt by tilting it and zoom by touching the screen. Great stuff to impress the ladies! ;)
