Sketching physical computing apps on the iPhone w/Dashcode and sensors
NADA Mobile is a suite of applications, originated at Tellart in 2008, for running xhtml css javascript "sketches" of new applications. The sketches run on the iPhone/iPod Touch hardware but are even useful for prototyping things that aren't going to be iPhone apps. "Sketches" are generally built in Apple Dashcode, or just a text editor, and then uploaded to the RunSketch iPhone app using a desktop app called SketchServer.
NADA Mobile is an enhanced version of Mobile Safari that gives you access to the accelerometer, GPS, microphone--and can even be used to read the value of an external analog sensor attached to the device's mic input (without using a computer or a microcontroller).
