I would like to include an accelerometer in a phone design (my own homebrew design or a future Neo perhaps?), then all the Nintendo Wii style interactions become possible.
If my phone is locked it asserts that it should be at rest, if someone picks it up it needs a code or a secret gesture on the touchscreen to unlock it or set moving locked mode. if it doesn't get the code it asks to be put down again, if that fails it complains loudly in speakerphone "help, I'm being stolen, put me back!" or whatever audio you like. It also posts its location to a web service. Should be easy enough to code, I'm just waiting for the hardware to catch up... Adrian On 2/28/07, Attila Csipa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

All I'm saying (IANAL of course) that for many of those items (especially on places like ebay) it is very hard for the buyer to establish whether the good is actually stolen or not (receipts and boxes can be photoshopped all too easy), and he has to rely on a level of reasonable doubt (based on seller rating, price, provided images, etc) to determine whether he is getting the good from a trustworthy source. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
