The iPhone, the App Store, and the proximity sensors.
This is a twofer!
1. Can the iPhone SDK take advantage of the iPhone's proximity sensors? If so, why hasn't anyone taken advantage of them? I could picture a few decent uses.
For example, in a racing game, you could put your finger on the proximity sensor to go instead of taking up screen real-estate with your thumb. Of course though, if this was your only option, then iPod touch users wouldn't be able to use the application.
2. Does the proximity sensor tell how close you are, or just that something is in front of it?
Anyone know the answer to one or both of these questions?
