Design Idea for OM2009 / Paroli ?

2009-05-01 Thread Braydon Fuller
I was chatting with a friend about mobile devices and we were joking
that many of the top applications for the iPhone where games
(http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/apple-unveils-top-20-free-paid-iphone-apps-ifart-mobile-only/).
So I wondered, isn't there anything better to do with accelerometers,
etc? And after watching some videos on what gestures can be recognized
(http://tinyvid.tv/show/2j0ki5xzfob6i), it would be really great to use
gestures as the basis of navigating the device, as far as I know no
distributions do this:
