Motion-sensitive Handhelds?

Posted by michael on from the shaken-not-stirred dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Fancy controlling your mobile phone just by moving it? This article on ZDNet describes a new smartphone that is motion sensitive, so users can zoom into a Web page, scroll round a document or switch from portrait view to landscape simply by tilting the handset." The company website has a little more information.

  1. Well, how far off is that? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I've never seen such contempt for readers by an editor as I see here with CmdrTaco (take the recent moderated IRC session as an example). He needs to become part of this community and stop his private little war on trolls and he'll take away their drive to screw with his product.

    Please Rob, if you won't listen, if you won't participate... climb down from your throne and let someone who reads his own site and participates in unmoderated chats with readers to run the show.

    Please.

    Does anyone else see a potential problem with getting x-rayed multiple times everytime they fly?
    They already have the 'x-ray vision' type scanners for luggage. I thought the reason they weren't using thaton people was for health purposes. Is there any reason why this way is safer then conventional methods?
