Motion-Sensitive Mobile Phone
Well, here’s a new input mechanism for mobile phones. A company is getting ready to launch a phone that responds to motion controls. It adjusts to the orientation of the phone to set the screen to the best viewable direction. It also lets people do things such as tilt or zoom on the screen. Sounds interesting, though, I imagine execution is going to make a big difference in whether or not this goes anywhere. If people find it easy and intuitive it could catch on. If it’s confusing and clumsy, it’ll die a very quick death.
