EETimes has a new article up about MEMS devices (including motion sensing devices like accelerometers) in consumer devices after last week’s MEMS Executive Conference.

Among those featured in the article are Borland founder Phillipe Kahn, who’s got a new startup called Fullpower Technologies  that’s focused on new operating systems to enable sensors and other MEMS devices in mobile phones and other consumer devices. Kahn was quoted during his keynote at the conference as predicting that we’ll see 10 billion MEMS chips (which could also include MEMS microphones) in cell phones by 2010.

The whole article is worth a read, you’ll find it here.
