First things first, the marketing blurb calls it a PDA for the poor. At $240 a poor person in the US could not afford one let alone one in India. Second, placing a motion sensor in a hand held device could cause a person to go insane. Which you might already be if you purchased one. How many times have you tilted you 2100 to reduce glare? You remove the glare only to find you are now on a different page. You are a pasanger in a car in stop and go traffic. Page change. Page Change. Page change. Out the window. The only fun thing would be that you might be able to program it to erase stuff when you turn it upside down and shake it like a Etch A Sketch, the orignal tablet.
I think the Newton group looked at this idea a ways back and canned it.
