Detect shake

Hi,
I'm working on a simple game, my first one using iTGB. Now i like to be able to detect shakes but I have no idea how to do it. I know that the joystick is used for detecting accelerometer, but I've no idea how to detect a shake.
Thanks in advance

Detect changes in different directions. Count how many changes happen, and determine a threshold in (hundreds of ?) milliseconds and number of changes before it counts as a shake.
The code to do that is your homework assignment for tomorrow :P
OS 3.0 has a simple way to detect shakes, but more than half the iPod touch users haven't upgraded (CAVEMEN!), as opposed to nearly every iPhone user (except those who can't get a signal to know about the update, possibly for living in caves).
