An inclinometer is an instrument for measuring inclination. More particularly, it can refer to: Inclination is one of the six orbital parameters describing the shape and orientation of a celestial orbit and is the angular distance of the orbital plane from the plane of the reference (usually planets equator or the ecliptic), stated in degrees. ...
An instrument for measuring slight differences in slopes, particularly for geophysics. Such inclinometers are, for instance, used for monitoring volcanoes.
An inclinometer may also be used in civil engineering projects to measure movements in walls and/or the ground.
An inclinometer may also be used in some safety automotive systems.
use widely in geohazard monitoring programme

The sensor allows the player to control the game by simply tilting the phone in the direction of travel, with the angle of tilt controlling the speed of travel (like one of those plastic maze toys where you have to manoeuvre a metal ball through it).
Tiltsensors on home console games are also nothing new, but just like portable games they've been held back because they've only been available as special add-on accessories that the vast majority of gamers will never buy.
The PS3's tiltsensor appears to have been a last-minute addition after the expected rumble feature was removed due to legal difficulties with the patent holders, and few games will support tilt on the PS3 (at least to begin with).
