The Wall Street Journal has an interesting article up on Wiimotes and what "hackers" are doing to expand the usefulness of the things beyond, well, playing games. It's a nice (short) article, talking with everyone from a DJ who uses his Wiimote to splice tracks to a software engineer who uses his to control his Roomba. But for the record, Nintendo doesn't approve:
Nintendo says it is surprised by efforts to reprogram the Wii-mote and discourages the practice. "The Wii Remote was created to play on the Wii system only," says Anka Dolecki, spokeswoman for Nintendo.
So what are you doing with yours?
