This is now possible by using the Open Accessory API. You can get a serial channel to something like an Arduino over USB. You'll need a relatively recent Android device to make it work.

You could also check out the IOIO if you need to do this on an Android device that is pre 2.3.4.

In principal, you could do the same thing to open a serial channel to a laptop and then use the Android device as a wired IMU.
