Accuracy and response? Earthquake like dispersion?

It rotates the wrong way: if you flip clockwise the horizon spins even more clockwise, until the point where the sky is under the grass, as shown in the screenshot.

Quim, can you use X Terminal and paste the output of the following command in various positions (sitting on table upright, lying on table on back, sitting on right edge, sitting on left edge):

Code:
cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-3/3-001d/coord
Thanks in advance.

A new version of Horizon (0.0.4) is now on its way to extras-devel for diablo and fremantle. If it works better, I'll try promoting it to extras-testing.

How about calling it 'Maemo Attitude' ?

EDIT: Perhaps that is an improper use of the word Maemo. How about 'Attitude for Maemo' instead?

You mean "altitude," right? Or, maybe not...?

Well, I was thinking 'Attitude', since the artificial horizon on an aircraft, for instance, gives you a visual clue as to your pitch and roll. In aircraft terms, the instantaneous pitch and roll are it's attitude. If 'altitude' information was also displayed on Jaffa's app (via GPS??), then 'Altitude' would work as a name. Am I making any sense here?!

Hmmm - thinking out loud here. What about using a Maemo 5 device as a pilot's companion, named 'Airman', in the spirit of 'Carman'? You could have the artificial horizon, altimeter and airspeed. The last two are fed by the GPS. Of course, this would never be a primary instrument, and distractions in the cockpit are faux pas - but it would make for a neat application of Maemo power in aircraft!
