Apple has a patent application in for a motion-sensitive interface for the iPhone and iPod Touch. According to the application, the clickable parts of the interface increase significantly as the phone is moved.
The motion sensitive interface would be useful if the user moves move to much to and not being able to select different parts of the interface. This could be because the iPhone user is on the run (from the police or just jogging, or whatever). At that point, the interface is automatically adjusted enlarging the icons for example making it easier to select the apps or functions on the iPhone.
It is not the first time that Apple thinking out of the box to come up with better and stronger interaction between interface and motion sensors. A few weeks ago a patent application got published which described how the iPhone could be controlled with movements using the Accelerometer detected.
Note that, the patent shows another nice detail: the iPhone print shown below has a camera on the front of the unit. These cameras are normally used for video ;-)
