iPhone and Wiimote brought together by Bluetooth

It's been a long time going, but it looks like the invisible divide between the iPhone and the Wii remote has finally been bridged through the magic of Bluetooth. That was apparently made possible thanks to the portable Bluetooth stack from the BTStack project, which got paired with some custom OpenGL-ES code to allow the Wiimote to control a virtual representation of itself on the iPhone. Practical? Of course not. But it's a Wiimote controlling an iPhone. Video after the break.

This could actually turn into some practical uses.
1. Using the wiimote as gamepad. Extra points given to the fact that everybody already has a wiimote.
2. Controlling tilt - sensitive games and apps.
3. Points 1 and 2 together. it would make for some actually kick-ass handheld gaming

You're a gamehead, surely there's other things besides games in the world?

Fake. The iPhone is in airplane mode, and is not showing the bluetooth logo in the top-right.
