Firefox 3.6 Gets Accelerometer Support

This video demonstrates a new orientation feature in Firefox 3.6.  Right now it’s only supported on some new Macs and Thinkpads that have the hardware and drivers to expose the information.

I’m sure it won’t be long before other systems with Accelerometers, like HP laptops with “ProtectSmart”, will get some support.
