That was British Telecom's SmartQuill.

I'm sure it's still in limbo somewhere on BT's site, but they've done some reshuffling and I couldn't find it. I found this:
disruptivelab.bt.com

Some of it may well be Disruptive, but why risk being associated with theories coming out of Harvard B-School? I think those guys have co-opted the word for the time being.

One area of research is Inertial Gesture Recognition and Compact Inertial Sensor Packages. They seem to be moving backwards from product to research. <g>

Here's a recent article on SmartQuill:
research.microsoft.com

It doesn't sound like we'll see it in CompUSA anytime soon. Not that I'd buy one.

i never really figured out either how a fiberoptic gyro works
either. but i feel it relates to the speed of light vis a vis
acceleration. check out the fiber optic gyroscopes at
kvh.com.. (is the speed of light an absolute or not; i doono}
