games utilizing camera

[whiteguy025]

Anybody know if an accelerometer can be installed on the Touch.... I work at Radioshack and we sell them here for $40...

sounds like they are nifty for games but what purpose does it ( the accelerometer ) serve for the phone itself ?

[hooover]

So if you turn the phone one waY the game will turn to...you know like the enemy "Iphone" for those who wonder what I speak of...

does anyone know a lot about how lawn darts works because if it is possible 2 use the camra almots as an accelerometewould it b possible 2 apply this technology to other applications? don't hesitate 2 slam me if this question sounds dumb, just explain y. I imagine it would b hell on your battery (y should all the diamond and pro users have all the fun, lol)

There used to be a add on (think it was designed for the later iPAQ's) that added a accelerometer to WM devices. Kinda cool, little thing that stuck out and let you play a little sample game by moving the device around. Didn't catch on.

MS needed the iPhone, if only as a kick in the butt to do what they should have years ago. I'm almost disappointed I'm still sticking with them. Still, until android can open and edit office docs I'm using WM.
