Unfortunately not. As already pointed out on that list, the
accelerometers error would add up itself.
Besides: Its only two accelerometers. You can do 2-dimensional
'navigating' with that, no more. No tilting/rotating.
In the talk posted to google video they say they have 2 x 3D
accelerometers to allow detecting rotation as well.
