Zeetoo's Zeemote: the Wiimote for your cellphone
Zeetoo's Zeemote has actually been around the block a time or two before, but now it looks like this drawing board darling has grown legs. Reportedly, the Boston-area firm has secured some €4.7 million ($6.9 million) in funding from Nauta, Commonwealth Ventures and Egan Capital, which it will likely use to further develop and commercialize a wireless joystick for mobiles that looks (and sounds) strikingly similar to some other peripheral we've grown fond of. The Zeemote would purportedly communicate via Bluetooth in order to make gaming slightly more palatable on vanilla handsets, but we can't say we're champing at the bit to clutter up our precious pocket space with one of these things anytime soon.[Via Joystiq]
Cell phones to get their own nunchuks
We don't know about you, but here's the problem we've always had with cell phones: They're simply too portable and convenient. Thankfully, phone gaming is finally getting more cumbersome with a new peripheral that's obviously not at all inspired by Nintendo's Wiimote Nunchuk attachment.Peripheral company Zeetoo (it rhymes with "me-too") created the new Bluetooth-powered attachment called the Zeemote (it rhymes with Viimote). Not only is it shaped like the Nunchuk, it includes an analog stick and buttons on the bottom. There's even a motion-sensing version in the works! But, you see, it's black. So it's totally different. Totally.
