The Sleeve of Interactivity
Hey I’ll be the first one to admit that the Wii is definitely cool. Controlling characters on the screen with arm movements is just so much more natural and intuitive than a cumbersome series of button presses like Up, Down, Red+Blue, and stand on your head.
That’s why I found it interesting to read about a similar development effort for Symbian devices in the mobile space.
Arto Holopainen, a Finnish Symbian developer, posted a short article in Forum Nokia describing his work on a wearable gaming “sleeve”, that, when used in tandem with a Nokia mobile device, allows for a similar kind of control of objects on a screen.
Pretty cool huh? I can think of a few games you could use that for. How about a swimming simulator or a Hawkman game? 
What are some ideas you guys have about motion detection, mobile devices, and games?

well the possiblities are endless if they were to put out a fighting game you could actualy act out the fight with a friend and see your charactor react on screen very cool. And so many other little games can be enhanced like anything involving sterring whether a car or ship or plane, it makes me wonder how close we truly are to total emersion in our games.

动作感应，貌似前些日子NOKIA申请的那个和WII的差不多的专利会加到新的N-GAGE平台中。不过我觉得要让所有的n手机都加上动感芯片好像不现实，而且像N95，N93这种已经发行的手机也在新n-gage平台中。所以我们是不是可以认为NOKIA将会出一款专门的游戏手机，并在其中加上动作感应？你们认为呢？
I like wii,but I like xbox360 more,

Interesting!
With this control and the TV-out, you can have a Wii like experience with a mobile phone! Fighting(One), running, fishing(CotD)… anything is possible if the controls are well defined!
But I’m more interested in a bluetooth controller for the N-Gage Platform, that would be perfect!

At first I was like “WTF????How are we supposed to see the phone screen if we are awining our arms everywhere!” Then I thot about the TV connection and thot that this might actually work!!!!Or if there would be a fighting game that will record your moves before playing and then you can put them in the game!
