Wii springing from funplace to workplace?

[FisionChips]

In an very interesting article, Edward Hermann talks wbout the applicability of the Wii console to business applications. I like the idea of using the wiimote device to control a PC!

The article is SAP oriented and the little demo is interesting and gives details on how you can hook up your wiimote to your PC. I put it into this discussion forum to invite your posts on what potential uses this device might have other than as a game console. Is this really a breakthrough or just a bit of a gimmick?

I've always found the idea of the Wii remote kind of stupid. Its a great idea and all, a revolutionary idea, but I guess I'm old school because I enjoy most just sitting down and relaxing to play a game. I don't wanna be having to jump around and move around to play it.
