I caught a quick glimpse of a few Wii hacks on G4’s “Attack of the Show” and just had to post links to a few of the videos. In the process, I naturally found a few others. Hackers have already turned the WiiMote into a:

• WiiTar (a motion sensitive musical controller through a PC)
• Vibrator (via GayGamer.net and SlashDong, of course created by crashing the Wii browser)—NSFW hack
• Wireless PC Mouse (A joystick emulation application - GlovePIE - uses the bluetooth in the WiiMote to control the mouse cursor in Windows XP)
• Wireless Mac Mouse
• RC car controller
• The Uber Controller (Controls home electronics through the WACI NX server emulated through a Nokia 770)

The silliest Wii related hack of all, even though it doesn’t really involve the WiiMote, is that someone actually made their Target Wii gift card blink to music. Looks like they had to hardwire it, but still pretty crafty.
