When writing game code, what (if anything) is the difference between the accelerometer, G-Sensor, and Gravity Sensor? I'd assumed that they were all different names for the same thing, until I pulled up specs on my Motorola Bravo (MB520), and found a device id for the accelerometer, an "Unsupported" for the Gravity Sensor, and no mention of a G-Sensor (which I'm guessing is a Gravity Sensor).
Now I'm not so sure. So, when writing game code, is there any real difference? Are they basically the same thing? Or are they completely different sensors? In trying to find the answer myself, I found a lot of discussios that went like this: An accelerometer is [this], and a G-sensor is [that]. An accelerometer is [that], and a G-sensor is [this]. An accelerometer is [that], and a G-sensor is [this]. An accelerometer and a G-sensor are the same thing. An accelerometer is [that], and a G-sensor is [this]. An accelerometer is [this], and a G-sensor is [that]. An accelerometer is [that], and a G-sensor is [this]. An accelerometer and a G-sensor are the same thing. An accelerometer is [this], and a G-sensor is [that]. and so on, ad nauseum.... Is there an authoritative answer out there?
