i feel like Apple is a smart company so they may prove me wrong (and i'd be perfectly ok with that) but i just can't see the draw of gesture based interaction with your phone. i just get this mental picture in my head of some guy shaking and twirling his iPhone in an attempt to get it work, and all the while, making himself look crazy. sure movement based input helps when you don't have many buttons to work with but other than that, i personally feel it's pretty gimmicky.
