This has been implemented by a third party developer. The Locale Inbound SMS Plug-in is available as a paid app on the Android Market!

Locale 1.0 adds a new condition: the Orientation condition. The orientation condition supports detecting when the phone is lying face up or face down.

Locale 1.0 is available on the Android Market today in countries that support paid apps. Full release notes are here: http://www.twofortyfouram.com/notes.html

This has been implemented by the “Inbound SMS Plug-in” plug-in condition for Locale 1.0. To find this plug-in on the Market, simply open Locale and choose Get Plug-ins from the menu.

Actually, I think there’s a better way to organize this:

I’m marking this feature request as complete, as there are two ways currently to detect when the phone is in a car: a car dock condition or a Bluetooth condition, both of which are available now as plug-ins on the Android Market.

In order to have the votes correctly tallied, created a new request for a speed condition. If you want a speed condition, vote here:

At long last Locale 3.0 introduces the Calendar condition to detect events on your Google Calendar, Exchange Calendar, or any other calendar supported by Android.

While Locale 3.0 is available for Android 2.2 or later, the Calendar condition requires Android 4.0 or later. To learn more about Locale 3.0, please see our release notes here http://blog.twofortyfouram.com/post/19303488607/locale-3-0
