Innovative devices usually spawn innovative ways of using said devices. I’ve already seen some speculation about using the accelerometer in the iPhone to create a Wii-mote for use with Nintendo’s Wii games console. But why not go one step further? There is a growing library of games for the current generation of iPods, that will be playable on the iPhone. Why not create games in the spirit of the Wii that are controlled by moving the iPhone. I’m sure that notion has already gone through someone’s mind at Apple. So I won’t be surprised to see some iPhone games that take advantage of the accelerometer and other sensors before the end of 2007. Indeed, given that OS X is at the heart of the iPhone and there are already thousands of OS X developers out there, it is inevitable. I think life just got a little harder for Sony’s PSP.
