I agree with diggity… if your phone is loosely rolling around in your pocket and you’re walking (or better yet, running)… this app might make your phone go haywire!

So what happens when the phone is in your pocket, and you get an sms when you’re walking? I think this is a novel concept, but practical? nah.

It’s not that it’s easier it’s just when I get SMS, I take out the Tilt, slide it open, hit unlock then unlock again (like what the iPhone copied from MSFT but instead of said slider it’s said button) then either hit view or reply depending on the length of the message, type a reply, message sent ok, close app, and lock phone, turn off screen.

With this it makes it so I just take out the Tilt, give it a shake, hit reply or shake to close the app. and lock the Tilt. Or message sent ok, then close it, shake it and on I go.

It takes out a lot of the “middle men” so to speak.

this is a cool thing but is there a real need for it? is it easier than just pushing the button?

interesting, but I can see issues with shaking the phone would unlock the phone unless the movements are very precise
