Cell Phones Gaming Toys — 11 February 2008

Zeemote
There are plenty of cell phones that feature games. Currently, most handsets don’t warrant add-on peripherals, or more then 5 minutes of your time. Fortunately, we’ll probably begin to see that change later this year as more and more handsets are emerging as smartphones with robust memory and processors. Enter the Zeemote. Through the magic of Bluetooth, the Zeemote wirelessly connects with your cell phone and provides an analog joystick experience. So, as you’ll see in the video, you’ll hold your cell phone in one hand and the Zeemote in the other. This should provide a much richer and engaging experience. Seems about right since analog joysticks on video game consoles vastly improved game playability. My best guess is that the target demo will be a younger crowd (aka backpackers) more willing to hull around yet another peripheral.
