Matt “W4LNUT” Cameron (see contributors page for bio) and I made this video for the guys at mobipad. They also made a sweet video showcasing the product. Our videos are complimentary and showcase different elements of it. Our video would be the viral video hype, while their video would be a great TV ad. Check out our video and let us know what you think.
Music in the video was graciously provided under Creative Commons License by Newgrounds from their Castle Crashers soundtrack.
The guys who make mobiPad have come out with a cool product demo video! I wrote about these guys a while back when I was judging for Mobile Content 2008. I can’t remember if I heard about them through the awards, or just at the same time. Either way, they should have been at the awards. I would have voted them right to the top.
Using mobiPad, you can control your entire mobile phone with the game controller of the Nintendo Wii. Use it to play games or as a remote control for the media player on your Symbian S60 or UIQ device (N95, P1i, P990) - the wireless gamepad is always an ergonomic way to interact. You can finally play standard games on touchscreen devices and no longer have to worry about buttons that are close together - and all this without buying a dedicated mobile games controller that you could not use for anything else!
MobiPad gives you control of your Nokia S60 phone using a Nintendo WiiMote. The wireless gamepad gives you a wireless means of connecting the phone and WiiMote so you can play mobile games in a whole new way.
All you have to do is turn on Bluetooth and select “Discover Wiimote” in the mobiPad options menu. Turn on the WiimOte and they both sync up. Easy! Now you can play S60 Quake, Doom Legacy, vBag and more with a sweet WiiMote interface. Connect your phone to a TV and you have a portable console!
