Let me explain. The accelerometer in the iPhone is a very neet bit of kit to detect when the phone is flipped on it's side for youtube (landscape) and the display changes to suit, same when scrolling through album covers, the phone knows it's axis in x,y,z. I thought at first is going to be some little reid switch or something but no... far more sophisticated.
Some simple applications for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtcys_XFnRA
accelerometer app I've choosen displays the rate of change in acceleration as a % rather than a fixed number, really the G force applied to the phone.
I've never seen a phone with this level of technology, maybe Apple marketing, business model sucks etc etc... but the hardware/tech inside this thing is impressive... you should read up on it.
I've no contract with this phone are you kidding, I unlocked mine and have it on my vodafone sim, works a treat."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

The software prevents continuous rotation of your holiday pictures... I don't know how but imagine a square wheel (a Troll invention), every time the phone rests on one edge the image fits accordingly"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".
