The iPhone 4 has a LED light. And a light sensor (camera). What's stopping devs from developing optical mouse apps?

Is there such an app then?

You want to use your iPhone as a mouse?

Why not? There's already apps like Air Mouse, etc. but none with the motion tracking of an optical mouse.

I just don't see why anybody would want to rub his expensive iPhone against a table whilst a 10$ mouse can do the same job 100 times better.

Agreed. It's an interesting concept but seems pretty impractical.

Wireless mice are $20. Multitouch Magic Mouse is $80. If you have a case, paying $1 for a good optical mouse app is worth 100 times more than buying a Magic Mouse.
