That's pretty neat! Anyone try this out before? I would, but my Powerbook is at home and I'm at work, and won't have time to play around with it til the weekend.

"imagine controlling your favorite car racing app by just picking up your Powerbook and tilting it to achieve turning, acceleration and braking"

I'd pay $100 to see a Powerbook play my favourite car racing app with all the qualities turned up. Oh wait, it can't...

After watching these vids I wouldn't suggest that anybody manhandle their powerbook ( or any laptop ) in this manner.
