You may not know it, but the Nokia N95 has an accelerometer built into it. The only built-in application that currently uses this is the camera. However, Nokia recently released a C++ library that allows third-party developers to make applications that use the accelerometer.
One of the more silly examples of these applications is a lightsaber
program. All it does is show X, Y, and Z coordinates on the screen while you move the phone around. Oh yeah, and it makes light saber sounds. Had fun "attacking" my son with this.
For a demonstration, watch the video below:
