Wii Phone
A Wii Phone from Nintendo? C’mon; this seems a little far fetched, or is it? Recently we’ve seen the iPhone, rumors of a Zune Phone and now this.
According to T3 there is a distinct possibility that Nintendo may be coming out with some type of phone combined with the console remote. There had been some rumors last year about adding a microphone to the controller, and Nintendo has been taking advantage of internet based services with the Wii console, lately. This combination could possibly lend itself nicely to some type of VoIP service.
T3 found this information via the patent office showing plans of a Wii remote looking device with gaming keys and what looks like a dialing keypad. I wonder what kind of damage someone could do with this? We’ll keep watching…
It seemsa bit far fetched and silly, but I wouldn’t completely dismiss it. It is touch to drop the Wiimote if the phone rings. I can see funtionality like the game pauses when a call comes in so you aren’t fumbling around.
But even if that was the purpose, complete overkill in terms of device funtionality. The Will should remain a game console, plus the device looks too big to play a game with not to mention the rearangement of the buttons would completely toss most people.
