We’re interested on reading accelerometer history on the iPhone. Most research indicates that the iPhone app needs to access and record accelerometer data directly.

It was mentioned that the an employee at the Apple genius bar can connect a device to read the pas 2 or 3 months of accelerometer data in order to determine if the phone was dropped, etc.

Is this accelerometer log accessible by the developer via the iPhone SDK? Reading this would be helpful for our application.

Does anyone know if accessing this data via the SDK is possible?

Thanks
