After nursing the idea for almost a year, this finally looks like a
summer project to me...

Analog Devices was kind enough to send me two XY-axis
accelerometers. I'm thinking of recording acceleration during
the run, and then having the ability to check for lateral/breaking
Gs, plotting a course based on acceleration data, replaying runs,
checking for Gs in a particular corner, etc. Should be more accurate
than the G-tech, and much cheaper than Geez.
Any other Palm owners interested? It seems like the difficult part
will be making the PCB that plugs into the Palm's cradle connector.
