And the Wiimote uses the Wii as a transmitter.

In the long run it's pretty damn close to being the same thing.
It isn't. At ALL. This is just a wireless mouse with arrow keys mapped to buttons for Powerpoint presentations.
There are no accelerometer, or ways to tell where it is in regards to the reciever, or how it is tilted.
This company should be suing the people who actually made a good version of this idea. Not nintendo. I mean, they didn't even design the thing for the same reasons nintendo designed it. And they are far from the first to come up with wireless pointers.
Think laser pointer with buttons. The wii just works difrently. I'll type some longwinded shit up tomarrow. I need UMK3 and sleep for now.
Quick edit: Boring Powerpoint mouse = infared. Wiimote = Bluetooth. differant technologies. That makes enough of a differance for this to get thrown out.
