I don't think this has been posted, but for everyone who has a N95 phone this is probably the best application for it ever! It uses the accelerometer in it to turn it into a light sabre, completely pointless but very cool, there's a couple of other apps on this page as well.

You need to download this package first for them to work

Yeah, the novelty wears off surprisingly quickly! I might have to paint a cardboard tube green and stick my phone in it though, that might make it a bit more fun!

It'll be interesting to see if any useful apps come from having the tilt sensors in the phone. I think it's one of those things that sound good but then you can't think of anything useful to do with it.

Rotate me 2.0 is good, does the auto rotate from portrait to landscape like the iPhone.

Is that downloadable yet?

Must admit that would be useful. The N95 is a bit crap in that respect especially when viewing photo's you've taken in portrait. would be good if they automatically filled the screen.

Only available if you donate to him. When it is finally released, maybe at the end of this month then it'll be free. He will then work on the Wiimote type app where you tilt the phone to navigate the menus.
