Yup, cmon man get with the times lol you can use them as drumsticks on the MAC, there is also a video of a robot arm being controled with a wiimote on you tube and some MIT guys have been using them to open doors.

I have a program to use it as a remote for itunes and there is about a 1000 other things you can do with them as they are a bluetooth device

wow, a robotic tennis playing arm, can't think how I've survived for so long without one. And pardon me for pointing out the bleeding obvious but doesn't a wiimote take up a lot more space in your pocket than a key??

If these people ever put their obvious intelligence towards something constructive they'd change the world
