Whether you stride purposefully or shuffle along, your unique mode of  
locomotion could soon be used to secure your cell phone against theft  
and unauthorised use.

A major problem mentioned is that it doesn't work after a few swift  
ones....

That said, motion sensors in keitai could be useful for other things  
- games for example. Do any phones on the JP market incorporate  
motion sensors?
