Two possibilities, depending on if I want something that work is
interested in or that looks cool:
 * Adding drawing mode. Use 1->9 to set 'pen' color to white, black, red, etc. 
   and roll the ball around to try to draw a picture.
 * Map Navigation. Create a tiled map (using OpenStreetMap data) and
   allow the user to navigate the map by tilting the phone left or
   right. (Or up or down).

The problem with the first is that I have to write the mapping app
first. :)
