I had a note yesterday from my friend Danny Briere. Danny’s making the rounds at CES. He told me that I had to check out GestureTek Mobile – said they had a lot of fun trying out the apps the company is demonstrating this week.

So the funny thing about this particular video, Russ, is that the CTO was showing us bowling, and he scored a Strike! and was so surprised because he said that’s the first time he’s ever gotten a strike! So I guess it’s harder than it looks. You can apply ‘english’ to the ball as it goes down the lane by tilting the phone left to right too.
