Over at Forum Nokia Blogs, Andreas Jakl, presented some interesting new concepts for the acceleration sensor which comes built-in with the Nokia 5500 Sport and Apple’s iPhone.
The article goes through two examples. The first one deals with snowboarding, where the application (gBoarder) monitors the movements of the boarder and provides some stats to the boarder like the number of crashes you’ve had or your longest jump.
The second application (carMeter) measures car’s acceleration and displays the g-force in real time on the display. This is a brand new idea that should make driving a car more interesting.

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.
