Video: Control The Nokia N95 Music Player With a Shake
The Nokia N95’s accelerometer is put to test by another developer using the built-in music player in the Nokia N95. I received a video response to my accelerometer video on YouTube showing someone controlling music by shaking the Nokia N95. Useful? Maybe. Cool? Definitely!
The developer claims to have created the code in just 30 minutes, so I’m assuming the software is far from perfect.
Honestly, I think forwarding to the next song with a shake of my wrist is pretty cool; a very nice feature to show off in a commercial or to a bunch friends. A lot of other things can be done with the Nokia N95’s accelerometer. Zach from Symbian in Motion commented in a previous related post some great ideas:
With an accelerometer that supports 28 values you could easily control all kind of functions with gestures - a simple flip of the wrist in one direction or the other to cycle images in the gallery forward or back, turn the phone face down to pause video playback in a media player, a gentle shake of the device for one second to mute an incoming call, etc etc…
A little warning though: shaking your phone can be dangerous… I was playing with MovingBall in my car and tried bouncing the ball. I didn’t realize how close I was to my stick shift and slammed my Nokia N95 right on it. Fortunately, nothing was broken or cracked. phew!
The software is not currently available for download, so we’ll keep an eye out if this makes it out to the public.

Different people say different things about the number of credit cards one should have. I still can not figure out whether I should get another credit card (I already have 3 with a credit line of about $10 000). Should I get one more? I am considering applying for a credit at

I was stupid enough to use my Social Security number when I was filling out one of the forms online. Now I can’t buy anything on any websites because I don’t want to use my credit card number. I need a new credit card now and I understand that the most convenient way is to apply online but I don’t know whether is safe to use such websites as
