Now this is an iPhone hack. Nothing against Craig’s iPhone hackery, mind you. A guy by the name of Erling Ellingsen tapped into the iPhone’s accelerometer’s raw data and has the iPhone doing all sorts of fun stuff. Here, for example, the kid created a Steve Jobs bobble head of sorts. Thankfully, Ellingsen put the complete source code for the hack on his blog.

Not only that, but the very same guy made his own touchscreen in the Jeff Han vein by using a plastic bag, some dye and an iSight. It’s video like these that make me wish I had a technical background.
