Will we get more motion-sensing love for the mobile phones? While the concept of motion control isn't really that new for Sony Ericsson handsets - the W380a model with it's gesture control comes to mind - word is out that the mobile phone manufacturer is planning to focus on using that very same technology in mobile gaming.

According to a report from gadget news site Pocket-lint, Sony Ericsson has recently struck a deal with GestureTek in order to implement the latter's motion-sensing technology into games for Sony Ericsson phones. The very same technology is currently being used for the Sony PlayStation's EyeToy peripheral.

There wouldn't be much difference between motion sensing tech currently used in the EyeToy and the one that's being made for mobile gaming, if Pocket-lint's report is accurate concerning Sony Ericsson's plans to use of the mobile's on-board camera to sense movement. This brings to mind the Katamari Damacy game for mobiles. Motion-sensing rolling fun? We're sold.

We haven't received any confirmation about this news yet, so we'll tag this as a rumor for now.
