Bonus: Example Applications using Accelerometer Data in iOS 4.2

Developers have been busy checking out the new accelerometer/gyroscope events that can be captured in iOS 4.2, and have built some pretty cool apps. Here are some examples (load them on an iOS 4.2 device like an iPad, iPod touch, or iPhone).

A population projection visualization using SVG and the accelerometer. Here is a video of the app in use if you don’t have an iOS 4.2 device. Zachary Johnson has created a CSS 3D physics simulation using the accelerometer data. Robert Dougan used the data to build a autoscrolling list using Sencha Touch that scrolls based on the accelerometer data. Awesome! Daniel Rapp has a tweetable-sized bookmarklet that enables dynamic page rotation thanks to the new iOS web-accelerometer API.
