Wiimote-controlled Nokia

Another innovation you can add to the list of functions your handy-dandy Wiimote can perform is the ability to control games on your S60-running mobile phone. Well, not actually all games, just one for now. Playing WiiRider w/ the Wiimote on an N95The WiiRider is a motorcycle game that comes bundled with the WiiConnect, a driver that allows your S60 device to recognize the Wiimote which you can download for free. It might seem quite odd if you’re playing on a mobile phone's small screen, but for phones like the Nokia N95 that comes with TV-out, using the Wiimote will seem more normal. With the WiiConnect, your N95 is what game consoles have become. The WiiConnect is compatible with mobile phones running on the S60 3rd Edition platform. So far, the WiiRider is the only game available that takes advantage of the Wiimote, but it wouldn’t surprise me if one day mobile phone games supporting the Wiimote start sprouting out of the woodwork.
