Mention of how this means the end for the iPhone in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
*gasp* Is that the sound of a nail being driven into the iPhone's coffin?
Hmm, guess not...
You with the nail gun: just aim for the head. Burying apple products alive isn't as easy as it once was.
WOW
Tilt control ¬_¬
Awesome, I want one of these for my OQO.
"a standard PC": Im having amusing visions of someone struggling to hold their monolithic desktop pc like a giant gamepad to play a game.
Can you use it in other model of nokia besides n810
TechBoy
Can you use it in ____
Does it have USB ports?
yes.
USB to Micro USB it, stick it in a SIXAXIS and you'll get TWELVAXIS baby.
i count 10. up,down,left,right,forward,back, plus the forward,back,left,right that the stick would offer? did i miss any?
err technically, i guess the stick would offer left,right,up,down and not forward and back. but, then again, frame of reference renders that technicality irrelevant.

lol on the string theory reference.
they should put that mac virus built into this so now PC and other mobile devices can have their screen items collapse on them... someone will at least eventually put this into a Eee PC.
Genius, give this man money now. And do what he said, I would pay good money for it.
Viruses are only possible because of a few key security mistakes. XP makes all of them. Vista only makes like two. Viruses aren't normal, nor inevitable, nor guaranteed to have the possibility of being effective, they just want you to think that.

My god! A tilt control device! Am I in the future?
The beginning of the future will be market by WINE 1.0.
..we're close though.
...my typos confuse qwerty users. Sorry, I was typing too fast to catch that and didn't take long enough to look over it before posting.
...I'll elaborate: ubuntu is better /now/, but market share can't go anywhere serious until application compatibility is nearly complete. We have a lot of winapi and directx functions to implement before that is the case. ...Adobe is evidently considering porting lightroom though, which is awesome, and WINE runs CS2.. I love google...
Oh sorry, got off topic.. what I mean to say is, "Am I in the future?" is a question I find myself asking all the time, and the answer, for me, is yes. --But I do a lot of alpha and beta testing.

Watching this makes me wonder why so many people are trying tilt control. It sounds cool, until you realize that tilting your screen all the time makes it hard to read. Better to use a separate gadget like a Wiimote (which can be made to work with the N810 anyway).
Can it play quake?
But.. WILL IT BLEND?
Screw Quack, will it work for DOOM?
Actually the blender community could make good use of this thing.
Ooooh, lookit suzanne; she's dizzy!
