Salve,

because I know *now* that the Neo1973 has a whole for a string to wear it
at your neck - I have some ideas... 

of course optional and not by default - but when the normal standby 
position would be  vertical - at your neck or in your pocket - so when 
using the smartphone, you will put it into vertical direction - with an 
clinometer could the device automaticaly unlock the keylock and the user 
haven't to think how to unlock it.

To lock the device the multi-touch sensor analysing could help - when
has his normal menue than random multi-touch connections inside your
pocked (no light) or at your chest, would be vertical and would make
no sence - no accurate input - nonsense multi-touch...

When having it hanging around my neck, the top side of the device will
be down - flipping the screen with a small (1/3) mirror effect would
make it readable for me to - a big clock with nice background would
be nice - here an example for the picture of a T (with 1/3 mirror)

A friend of mine said, that the clinometer would be more usefull for
navigate inside of menues/ebooks then an accelerometer.
