Flipsilent gets Symbian Signed

Accelerometer-based apps for suitably-equipped S60 3rd Edition phones are popping up thick and fast at the moment but there aren't many around that do anything really useful.

There are some cute single-use apps like the spirit level app Pypoziomica and plenty of novelty apps like this sword fighting game, but potentially useful things like ShakeMe seem to be in perpetual beta.

Flipsilent, though, that I can see myself using quite a bit - especially now it has been released as a Symbian Signed app and I won't need to jump through hoops to get it to install.

As the name implies, Flipsilent lets you shush your handset simply by turning it over.   The app lets you configure 'flip' behaviour for hanging up calls, switching to a 'silent' profile and muting alarms.  Oh, and it's free.

Check after the jump for a video of the app in action.
