What is an accelerometer in a mobile?

Answer:
The accelerometer in mobiles (like the iPhone) is used to measure the orientation or vertical and horizontal positioning of the phone. The most basic application of this is the device knowing when to alternate the view of the screen depending on how you are holding it.
In addition this feature allows app developers to utilize this feature in games and other programs.
