[edit] The device signals when it is dropped
When the accelerometer detects that the device is in freefall, it generates the sound of a bloodcurling scream.
And maybe says "ouch" if there is a subsequent large impact. Possibly also keeps murmuring "I'm over here!" if it detects that no one is picking it up. (And "Thanks" when it does get picked up.)
[edit] Utility
This will help me know when my phone has fallen out of my pocket/clip. It can also lock the device after a fall, in case someone unfriendly picks it up (and displays an owner message).
That also brings up the interesting screen-lock method of throwing it up in the air.
[edit] Problems
Continual use of accelerometer hardware. Could be embarrassing.
