Acceleration minus acceleration from rotation

[Mike Bonner]

The accelerometers in the device WILL pick up a linear movement. Tilting
it, changes the acceleration in an axis in relation to the direction of
gravity. But applying force against the inertia of the accelerometers will
definitely be picked up.
