Hi,

I have been thinking of this for a while but don't know how to make it work.
I found a bit anoying to press the "power" button and then slide to unlock the screen. We have a very nice accelerometer and a proximity sensor on our device, we should use them !

I was thinking of a crond that would detect the orientation of the phone (Lying on table back down or been held in hands) to detect if the phone screen should be locked or not. then if the phone is in your pocket (obiously then not flat on its back), the proximity sensor would detect this and therefore leave the phone unlocked.
the goal would be to get the screen unlocked when you pick the phone up from a table, and keep the phone unlocked as long as you hold it in your hands.

Andoid has an application that does this, it is called Screeble (http://www.brighthub.com/mobile/goog...ews/58778.aspx).
I did raise a brainstorm but without success (http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...id-on_maemo_5/)

I am wondering why so less success on this idea, am I the only one willing this

posting now in Applications just in case ...
any input will be most welcome
