How to Unlock Accelerometer for Pocket PC

Almost all Pocket PC cell phones and PDA's have a new growing technology in them called an accelerometer. The accelerometer is convenient because it rotates some programs automatically when you turn the Pocket PC on its side. The accelerometer is optimal for viewing videos on your Pocket PC or for looking at an Internet browser on a wider screen. However, Pocket PCs limit the use of the accelerometer to only several applications on your phone. So follow these steps to be able to take advantage of the g-sensor accelerometer in your phone and have any application you want rotate with the way you hold the Pocket PC.
