Clear shot of the Pro's accelerometer

Call me weird, but I really wanted definitive video evidence of the CDMA Pro's accelerometer. I've been scouring the other videos, hoping to see something, but perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough. Someone finally posted this YouTube video yesterday:

It actively re-orients the screen when viewing the picture album around 3:15.

Nice video, at first I was like damn the touch pro is kind of long but then realize that it was the horrible camera, LOL. Iphone category? Why does everything has to be compared with the iphone?

I know that its just that this tech has been around for a while and everyone is acting like the iphone is the first to market or something. One of my co-workers has an iphone and he loves to show that thing off alot, when I pulled out my mogul and showed him a few things needless to say he was pretty impressed, I also told him about my 6700 that could basically do the same thing and that came out a few years before the mogul.
Anyway I respect apple for what they have done but damn, anything they release becomes totally over hyped.

There was a time when Mac's had a huge advantage over PC's in video & music editing (Final Cut Pro & ProTools). Even Amiga's had the PC's beat. That that gap is pretty much gone now.

That and the fact that you can't change your battery in the Iphone really sucks. I like that if my Mogul is going dead that I can pop in a spare, where as with the Iphone you are just screwed. I like the Iphone, it has a great UI, but there just isn't that room for improvement and tweaking like you can do with a WM device and the 3G is still useless in most places.
