I stumbled on this, and have a few ideas for projects, but just thought I'd share as someone here might have some clever pinball mods.

Texas Instruments has a cool watch that they offer for a cheap price ($50) in hopes you develop bigger applications.   The link is:

The watch has a wii-like 3-axis sensor, temperature sensor, barometric sensor and can communicate to remote devices wirelessly (i.e, a heart rate monitor or something in a pinball machine, or a computer.).
