I have an application that I was thinking of using an accelrometer for, but now I wonder if there is a less expensive and easier method.  Essentially I want to wake up the circuit if the box is picked up.  So I guess more of a movement sensor....its known by another name, as googling hasn't been all that helpful so far.
