Some time ago Tommi from Nokia looked for the totally useless but funny things that people can create with Nokia 5500‘s built-in 3D motion sensor. It seems that we have a winner. :)
Psiloc Wattery ScreenSaver
Psiloc Wattery ScreenSaver shows the battery level indicator rendered as a liquid sloshing around as you move the phone. Nokia 5500′s motion sensor detects the angle and sloshes the water to the left or right depending on the direction. The water level depends on the remaining battery power.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
