I ordered a couple of these from Newark just a couple weeks ago. They
only had the ADXL05 "J" part (I think thats it) in stock.  They were
about $20 each.

Didn't someone just come out with a single chip accelerometer that can
be programmed to give one of two axes or rotational acceleration.  As
I recall the chip was supposed to cost about $9.
