Does not look far away from being realistic

other dynamic features at once, or to do offline or p2p composition

legacy games like mame to use the accelerometer or gps if any etc...
even if not ubiquitous its pretty clear the iphone will already

Yeah, great ideas. I like the applications for the Mac Book Pro that
take advantage of the accelerometer and light sensors. For example,
being able to switch virtual desktops with VirtueDesktops by tapping
the laptop is actually somewhat useful. Kludgey, but useful. Or the
hack where you can hook a RooTooth up to a Roomba, and control/steer
your robot vacuum with a Mac Book Pro by tilting it. Pretty nifty.
Again, hacky and not entirely useful, but at some point with enough
experimentation we can identify new ways to interface to technology.
