Video demo: Openmoko Neo Freerunner Features Accelerometer-based Gestures, and Screen Orientation

[Martin Šenkeřík]

I suggest more discreet gestures, like was the shaking one. I
understand it is harder to recognize them and not to recognize them by
accident in normal use. But what about starting recognizing only with
pressed AUX button? You can replace actual function of "locking
screen" by much more where one of them will be "locking screen".

That were some my thoughts about usability, indeed your work is realy
great! Keep on going ;-)
