So the people at handango have released an amazing app that allows you to use the panel of the diamond to navigate through apps on our phones. Below is a description and attached is a cab for download (trial version).

GScroll - give life to your touch panel

‘Swipe’ to Scroll

GScroll allows you to swipe your finger left/right/up/down on the touch panel to scroll or navigate. This functionality will work in any Windows Mobile application that supports scrolling or navigation via the directional pad.

‘Tap & Tilt’ to Scroll

GScroll allows you to use your built in accelerometer to scroll or navigate any application. Simply double tap the center circle, and then begin tilting. To exit ‘Tap & Tilt’ mode, simply tap the touch panel.

Double-Tap Launch Zones

GScroll allows each of the 4 quadrants of the touch panel to be assigned to a custom application. Double tapping the quadrant will launch the application of your choosing. You can also assign custom actions to the hotkey, such as ‘Open Start Menu’ and ‘Close Current Application’.

Smart Scroll Mode

For both ‘Swipe’ and ‘Tap & Tilt’ scroll settings, you can either always scroll, always navigate (directional pad), or choose Smart Scroll Mode. This mode will choose the best suited method to control the current application. For example, PocketIE will scroll webpages, while swiping on the home screen will navigate up/down/left/right.

My Review

The app is great, it allows for you to control any app using the capacitive touch panel used by our diamond and the TP.

However one thing that might need a little tweaking is the app launch since it might take a few taps to launch it, its not extremely responsive.

As for the tilt and scroll features, well its absoloutely amazing, using the accelerometer you can scroll through pages, files etc.

I'm definetly purchasing the full version, the trial allows use for 2 minutes. You can always re launch the app by going into your program files and tapping the app.
