Wow! Are you patenting this idea? I just thought of, like, one hundred uses for this same idea. So fast. Wow. Mind blown.

  Is this a joke / commentary on patent law or are you genuinely enthused?

    It's my genuine reaction. I really thought this is super cool and innovative.

      I was about to write that there was an app for sharing between phones that used "bumping" but when I searched for the name... it's the same app :)

        While I have not previously seen an app that uses key input and accelerometer data like this one, there have been some academic publications that discuss pairing using similar accelerometer readings: Hinckley, 2003: http://depts.washington.edu/dmgftp/publications/uist04/uist_papers/Synchronous%20Gestures%20for%20Multiple%20Persons%20and%20Computers.pdf http://depts.washington.edu/dmgftp/publications/uist04/uist_...
