The thing has bluetooth so it should be able to connect to the Wiimote. Using one instead of an internal accelerometer makes sense, because when you move your phone around, it's hard to keep looking at the screen.

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...
