This is using the open source btstack, but btstack requires that you issue commands through BlueTool to pair and such, which is not possible on a non-jailbroken phone AFAIK.]]>Aug 5th 2009 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/Aug 5th 2009 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/Aug 5th 2009 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/Aug 5th 2009 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/Aug 5th 2009 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/Aug 5th 2009 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/Aug 5th 2009 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/Aug 5th 2009 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/
it'd probaly conflict with apple's stack.

Seems impractical. ]]>Aug 5th 2009 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/Aug 5th 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/
Not to say that most people would want to tote a Wiimote around with their iPhone to use it on the bus or something. But maybe they'd want it to play GBA games in bed or on the couch on a Jailbroken phone.

Again not at all practical, but you guys have some good thoughts. But how about some ideas that don't involve games?]]>Aug 5th 2009 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/Aug 5th 2009 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/
Crystal now, thanks.

1. As indicated by a previous poster, bluetooth doesn't even appear to be enabled on the iPhone.
2. The Wii-mote continues to blink throughout the presentation. Blinking lights usually indicate that the Wii-mote is still in the process of trying to sync.]]>Aug 5th 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/Aug 5th 2009 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/Aug 5th 2009 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/iphone-and-wiimote-brought-together-by-bluetooth/For Bluetooth, after you turn on Airplane mode, tap Settings > General > Bluetooth, then turn Bluetooth on.
