Motion-sensing phones
By Declan McCullagh on 26 March 2007
The technology made popular by Nintendo's Wii game controller is adding new utility -- and excitement -- to the mobile phone.
The iPhone also has a proximity sensor that detects when a user lifts the device to the ear; the sensor immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent screen touches until the iPhone is moved away.
