A custom user interface (http://gizmodo.com/tag/userinterface/) is a great way to do that! The eviGroup Paddle (http://gizmodo.com/tag/evigrouppaddle/)'s stop-the-ride-I-wanna-get-off Scale UI, less so. See for yourself:
The Paddle actually looks like a decent little tablet: 10.1-inch multitouch screen, 1.6GHz Atom N270 (http://gizmodo.com/tag/atomn270/) processor, up to 320GB of onboard storage, runs Windows 7. Yep, it's all pretty appealing, until you get the the price—starts at $952—and the Scale UI, which simulates what I imagine car sickness to feel like.
No more details on specs are available at the moment, but the Paddle is expected to be released sometime this spring, with an SDK out later this year. So all you developers, please start working on your Paddle Scale Dramamine apps ASAP.
