Intro: I have been traveling a lot lately, often with n900 in my jacket pocket, listening to music. Having second hand occupied, it was difficult to control music, having to take out the device, unlock it press the button, lock it, put it back in my pocket.


Idea: Have an app turning the whole screen into gesture recognition area. The gestures should be designed so they can be uniquely recognized, regardless of the device's orientation. Simply put the hand in your pocket where the phone is and perform simple gesture, whatever the current orientation of the device is.

Not getting into technical details (this can be a standalone player, plugin for existing player, standalone app controlling other players), what do you think about idea? Would anyone (besides me ) use it?
