I believe that AD makes an adxl02 now (+-2 g's) which might give you even more
accuracy.  I studied MEMS (Microelectro-mechanical systems) for a while here at
school and learned a lot about the adxl50 (+-50 g... +-8%) which is used for
airbags now.  the adxl05 was brand new at that time, and allowed for +-3% or
so.  I would bet that they've got the adcl02 down about 1% by now.  

I'm buried under my own adaptive algorithm for the moment, but would love to
hear what you find out about accelerometers.  Please keep me up to speed.  If
you search Alta Vista advanced query with 3-axis AND accelerometer, you should
be able to find lots of cool stuff.  I saw a couple just now, but have no info
on any of them.  If you have the time to contact those people, and could tell
me what you find, it would be much appreciated.

thanks
