Please make this user configurable (disableable ;-) ). It is a nice effect to show of on your new iPhone, because iPhones are supposed to be used when you are mostly in upright position. I like to read lying in the bed, but not on my back. This tilt switch could quickly become very annoying when trying to read in many comfortable positions.
I have a multi purpose clock / thermometer / kitchen stopwatch from Ikea and it displays different function when you put it into one of 4 positions. The switching is implemented by a simple cheap plastic housing with 8 contact and metal plated little plastic ball. A fancier of such switch model is here:
