Alltel recently teamed up with Transpera, a mobile video service provider and launched a new application called Alltel Social Video. The new social video app allows users to view, rate and share videos from different online sites such as GrindTV.com, Break.com, and AtomFilms. Alltel Social Video users can view videos from the websites and can also share them with friends using the ‘Send-to-friend’ feature. I think it’s like having another YouTube type app on your phone, offering another way to entertain yourself on the go.
Alltell Wireless’ director of messaging and voice services, Craig Kirkland said:
“As the mobile phone continues to evolve into a portable entertainment device, Alltel Wireless is constantly seeking ways to engage customers through their phones, as more and more are taking advantage of the video capabilities offered on their handsets.”
Of course more and more services, tends to equal more and more money, in this case the Social Video service will set users back an additional $2.99 per month.

Earlier this month during CES 2008 Nyko announced a wireless Nunchuck controller for the Wii. The Nunchuck had the wireless built in and a small adapter attached to the bottom of the Wiimote to connect them, giving you cord-free gaming action for about $30.
Now Nyko has taken into account the fact that many Wii owners already have the Nunchuck controller and really don’t need another. For this Nyko is now launching the Wireless Adapter for the Wii Nunchuck. This adapter runs on two AA’s and connects to the bottom of the Nunchuck remote, wrapping up the cord around it. A wireless adapter connects to the bottom of the Wiimote and lets you now use your existing Nunchuck and rid yourself of the cord in between. You can now completely perfect your arm-flailing windmill style of boxing without the risk of choking yourself or others, but of course there is still the risk of hitting them.
The Nunchuck wireless adapter will also save you $10 compared to the wireless Nunchuck itself with a $19.99 list price. Nyko expects to have it available sometime next month.

It was only a matter of time. After the initial success of any Nintendo product there follows a plethora of neat and nauseating colors upchucked onto the market. That time is at hand once again. There’s still no official word from Nintendo on anything but white Wii-motes, but now there is a third-party option for those of you bored with the standard white.
One of the first companies to offer a third-party substitute for the Wii-mote is Snakebyte. They are calling them Riimotes. They appear to look very close to the authentic Wii-motes, with the button design styles a bit different. The first models will be available either in a glossy black or a bright purple. Bright purple? Yuck! Maybe if you are playing a My Little Pony game…They should assault your senses in early February.
One drawback. As of now they are $59, but I’m sure they will drop soon enough.

Wiimote
add-ons of all sorts have been flooding in virtually since the console’s debut, but when it comes to sheer uselessness
and dangerousness, it’s tough to beat this latest bundle from the folks at Dragon Electronics, which offers no less than eight ways to accessorize your Wiimote and nunchuck. That includes a pair of daggers, an axe, and a pistol to name a few, which the company says should provide “amazing, exciting, fantastic and training body reaction.” If that sounds like the added depth of realism you’ve been waiting for, you can grab a set of your own right now for just under $30.

Controller abuse has always been a mainstay of the video gaming existence — no need to blame your thumbs when there’s this hunk of plastic to chuck at the floor — but who knew Nintendo was working such violence into its own official support curriculum? Wired’s Russ Neumeier gave Nintendo support a ring when one of his Wiimotes stopped sensing motion and none of the usual fixes seemed to work. After explaining his situation, the Nintendo rep asked Russ smack the controller into his hand, button side down, two or three times. After being assured that she wasn’t kidding, Russ did as he was told and was awarded with a fully functional Wiimote. We could see why Nintendo wouldn’t go shouting about this “fix” on its official support literature, but it has us wondering if “blow into the cartridge, whack side of NES, insert cartridge, repeat” was the Nintendo-approved method all along.

DIY virtuoso Johnny Chung Lee has already more than proven himself with his
Wiimote whiteboard and
finger-tracking hacks (to say nothing of the famous
$14 steadycam), but he now looks to have vaulted himself into a whole new league with his latest project, which uses a Wiimote for a full-on VR head-tracking system. As with his other recent hacks, the Wiimote and a sensor bar substitute swap their usual positions, with a pair of IR-equipped safety glasses stylishly getting the job done in this case. Toss in some custom-made software (available at the link below) and you’ve got a setup that’s sure to make anyone’s jaw drop. Whatever you do, be sure to hit up the video after the break (and watch ’till the end), as the image above certainly doesn’t do it justice.

Tomy’s i-SOBOT usually requires users to punch in one of 147 different keycodes on its monster handheld controller to get things moving, but a couple enterprising hackers have developed a control system that lets you get it on mo-cap style using a Wiimote and the nunchuk attachment. The secret is the upcoming Robodance 4 software, which maps the i-SOBOTs commands to the Wiimote and a GUI for complex scripted macros — which means it’ll be even easier to pretend that the bot is actually your real friend. Check a vid of the system in action, apparently shot in someone’s underground bunker, after the break.

Well, this was inevitable. And we suppose it’s not a terrible thing in itself, some people really loathe that cord tying the Wiimote and Nunchuck together, especially in light of how minimalistic the Wii is in most other regards. We, on the other hand, appreciate the defence the tether provides against injuring our house guests any more than necessary with our crazed arm flailings. Who knows if Nintendo will ever get around to releasing a wireless version of the Nunchuck, but Nyko’s going to make a buck here either way with its Wireless Nunchuck setup, which is headed for CES next month. There’s a 2.4GHz receiver module that has to be plugged into the Wiimote, but the Nunchuck itself is pretty much a virtual clone of Nintendo’s — which is appreciated. No word on price or a release date just yet.
