Thought people might be interested in this. The first game utilising the accelerometer has been released which is a space invaders clone. Tilting the phone moves your space ship to the left and right, its a little crude but it works!
Accelerinvaders
For which phone? N82?
As this is the N95 forum i would think the N95. Check out the link and it even says for the N95.

But N95 does not have accelerometer, only N82!

can't get it to work on my phone - anyone any ideas?
Downloads fine, installs without a problem, see the icon in Apps Menu, but when you select it - nothing happens!
This was exactly the same with Lightsaber ver 1.1 and 1.3. Only ver1.2 works on my phone.
You need the accelerometer API

Downloaded that - anyone care to translate the installation instructions?
How come though that the lightsaber ver1.2 will work on my phone without the need to install this file?
Done. Just installed the .sis file, didn't bother with the other files, and the invaders game works fine now.

If I remember rightly v1.2 used a different API in an attempt to make the app work with another phone too. It wasn't as good though so in 1.3 he went back to the N95 only version.
