Actually, the sensor code I had written with the SensorSimulator ( http://code.google.com/p/openintents/wiki/SensorSimulator ) before any Android hardware was available publicly, worked perfectly on the G1 when it came out - apart from the known issues with the wrong orientation sensor values that are returned by the G1 hardware :-)
It is one of the reasons that kept me from updating the SensorSimulator so far: I wanted to include a "G1 compatibility mode" that reproduces the wrong G1 readings for orientation - but it is a very ungrateful task (it is not so trivial to simulate exactly the same wrong readings), but unless this is done, I am slightly hesitant to call it a true "sensor simulator"... It should be mentioned that accelerometer and magnetic compass values are fine - only the calculated orientation values on the G1 had some issues.
