Bluetooth Accelerometer
Check out this PIC based bluetooth accelerometer that you can use for your future wireless accelerometer applications.
This is a small wireless sensor platform providing a bluetooth SPP link to three axes of accelerometer data. The accelerometers are sampled by a PIC microcontroller (onboard ADC) at roughly 100Hz (rate can be changed via firmware). Data from the ADC conversion is sent to a remote computer using the PIC’s UART in conjunction with a drop-in bluetooth serial part. Even with two dual-axis accelerometers onboard there are up to 17 free I/O lines and two additional ADC channels depending on the device configuration. Three sockets provide access to all PIC signals. Over-the-air programming allows for easy firmware updates and rapid prototyping without the need to have a PIC programmer or special cable. Schematics, parts lists, and firmware sources are available online.

Cool device. I have wanted to make something like this for awhile. I am interested why you would need to sample an acceleromter at 100 MHz. The best accelerometers only have banwidth in the low kHz range if not lower.

this is cool… so can this be used to make a wiimote???
