Arrow Motion sensing: small, accurate, fast
This looks promising for the future of DS, possibly bringing Wii style games to it, or at least PS3.

The company's IDG-300 is a very small 6mm by 6mm unit that can easily be embedded in tiny devices such as mobile phones, or - better yet - housed in the small cartridge format of the Nintendo DS or in a USB dongle for the PlayStation Portable.

Cool, I imagine it's somewhat related to the technology used in the Wii to be so small. What's it called? Accelerometers?

I'm assuming it means it can read 400 degree changes every second, or in simpler terms it checks the angle 400 times a second.

No it can handle that it has a certain set interval. The processor couldnt handle a for loop that fast.
