You know that cool thing the iPhone does when you turn it to landscape, it automagically knows to turn the content to match? That’s an accelerometer. The iPod Touch has one as well. And so does the Nokia N95, though Nokia doesn’t do much with it. And that’s the issue Mark at the Nokia Blog took up in this dope video. It’s not particularly usefull right now, but app developers could do some interesting things with the technology.
MacBooks, for example, can utilize the sensors to turn into lightsabers. Why not smartphones? Makes more sense to me.

Musicians can do some interesting things with music, too. . . but that definitely wasn’t happening in this video, either. Whoever picked that music deserves a beating.

I also wrote an application using N95’s accelerometer for capturing images. The purpose is to reduce the chance of getting a blurry image on your phone. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRcRRZ65Fno
