The accuracy (or, more specifically, the precision) is rather low, but 
they're only useful if you want a high-precision output from them. :-) You 
work around it in the same way you work around trying to run a ninja attack 
with only six buttons.

But that's what I was saying - the kindle is orders of magnitude more 
accurate than the Wii or whatever they're calling the PS3 thing, exactly 
because it's actually dealing with more than one point of input. It knows 
where *each* of your joints is with about the same precision as the Wii 
knows where *one* of your hands is.
