Samsung Electronics has developed the world’s first cell phone with a motion-recognition function

The race to develop technology that accurately recognizes human motion has been so taxing that globally renowned companies like IBM and Microsoft have so far failed in their efforts. But by using a six-axis sensor Samsung said it succeeded with the SCH-S310, opening a new age for cell phone technology. A Samsung official said the latest model would hit the market in March.

It allows users to make calls by writing the numbers into the air instead of pressing buttons. For example, if a user writes "1" with the phone in the air, the device makes a call to the memory number 1.

I think the new invent are good for assigning different shortcut to different "motion". For example if I want to open SMS inbox, I just need to assign a "S" motion. That will be more convenient than pressing the keypad!
