Only question I may have is what would the charge time be? Power through USB is definitely feasible, but charging up two Wiimotes would probably be either slow, or incomplete. In addition, it is nice that they are tethering the system to the Wii, but a standalone charge/storage station would be pretty sweet (that way you can charge you Wiimotes while the Wii itself is turned off). Otherwise, looking very nice (I think I'll go link my friend to this). Looks very very nice. Only question I may have is what would the charge time be?

I don't have my Wii yet, but I'll definitely be picking up one of these. Awesome! I don’t have my Wii yet, but I’ll definitely be picking up one of these.

I think Nintendo lost its way when it went from the SNES to N64 but it found the error of its ways and producing a very appealing product (so far). As we all know... it comes down to the games ;-) Jon Functional, priced right and useful… looks like Wii is starting to borrow from Apples design prowess… so far, I am more impressed with the creativity coming out of Nintendo then Sony with M$ being a distant third.

This looks slick and will add not only functionality but also convenience. You won't have to search for your wiimotes and the battery won't run out. Awesome idea. And for a price like this, this thing will sell like hotcakes. Amit Now if only I can get my hands on a Wii.
