    Yep, they do use Bluetooth. My phone picked it up while looking for my printer to sent a picture to it. It came up as an unknown device. At first I had no idea what it was until I thought about takingthe batteries out of the Wii remote. Then the phone couldn't find it.

    Dude somebody HAS to make an API to use the Wiimote as a mouse, it would be the killer apt for HTPCs or playing a PC FPS in a big screen.

    Is there any tools for doing that?

    If you don't pay over the odds, it shouldn't be as much as a Wiimote. I've played FPS games on it, though, and if that's what you're after then I'd have to recommend you avoid it. Not sure if the Wiimote is much better on a PC, but either way I have a feeling mouse+keyboard is going to be the best way to play FPS games for a while yet.

    Dunno, in a couch in front of the Tv it may the most confortable choice for FPS.

    That or the lapboard, if it was released...

    Comfort vs accuracy. Honestly, just have a go on one, you'll see what I mean; "comfort" isn't exactly the way I'd describe the cramps I got from holding it tightly when I played it, and it's certainly not as accurate. Much akin to the Metroid Prime: Hunters problems I had, that game is painful to play for any extended period of time. Hopefully the Wii version won't suffer the same.
