With those 3D accelerator thingy would it be possible to use phone as a sort of 3D mouse for a laptop or desktop computer?
Like the WII controller?

You can actually buy such mice stand-alone now -- they're marketed for presenters, so you can control your powerpoint while standing up at a screen, and by themselves they're already quite expensive.
