supposedly, the camera tilt motion feature will be available in windows mobile 7. It works on the Touch in the game LAWN DARTS (the 6.1 update is needed).

Theoretically, someone could use the same code that is used in Lawn darts to make a FLtouchFLO type program but using the camera.

does anybody know how to extract the little thumb bubble your press to scroll thru the contats by letter? that looks waaaay better than random access, alot easier to use too

Instinct does NOT have an accelerometer

is this lawn darts you speak of a free game and if so where can i get it?

i would think that if you were to do this just for scrolling purposes it would not really be worthwhile, cool yes, but no more than that. as, if the camera is running in the background (for purposes of sensing motion) then would that not take up some valuable system resources, and if you are running ie or whatever other programs, that would slow the device down quite abit. any opinions ? and couldnt this feature be taken right off the instinct and ported to the touch ?

just curious what games have this feature?

so it might be a little late to post this.... but the instinct does NOT have an accelerometer, the tilt function uses the camera to sense the motion. not the most accurate motion either (i used to have one). it just seems that the accelerometer on the tp would be much more accurate for scrolling/panning and much less power intensive.

Maybe he just meant using the camera button to scroll down? Which is available in the buttons sub-menu. Haven't ever used an Instinct, but why in the freaking world would you ever want to use the actual camera to scroll? That seems like an INCREDIBLY gimmicky thing that would have no real use. Instead of pushing a button AND moving your phone, why not just hit the down key or swipe with your finger? Nothing against the original poster at all, but that sounds like samsung tried to "acceler-BS" its way into looking cool.
