Seems this ideas gets the interest of a lot people. Nice. :) But as we only can choice one of them for this application, you should be prepared for other applications, too. > With the two accelerometers in the FreeRunner, I think we can recognise > lots of gestures, not only simple ones like a "click" (which is already > recognised by the accelerometers used in the FreeRunner).

Letting the user add new gestures is a key feature IMHO. Also letting them combine different gestures to new ones. We should make it easy for people beaing creative with this. That's where innovation can start. :) If we can have a preset of already known gestures shipped with the device, great. > I'm also interested in working in the ambient noise detection in second > choice. Also interesting. What I never understand completely is what kind of cool stuff we can do with this. I mean detecting the ambient volume level and adjust the ringing, etc is nice, but can we do more with it? Fancy things like detect if we are in a car or plane and react accordingly? regards Stefan Schmidt
