Can I design a magnetometer into our next generation cell phone?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Ask an Engineer - Magnetic Sensors : One Thread

We want to design a magnetometer into our next generation Nokia cell phone. We use a 3.6v battery and operate under a strict energy budget. I wouldn't want to "waste" more than 50uA on this particular feature. Perhaps it could be powered donw when not in use?

Dear Nokia:

We can supply our HMC1052 Magnetic Sensor for cell phones. Low current, low power, long battery life. For more info see:
