Well, the interesting thing is that :
"For most of these projects, you don't need the Nintendo Wii console.
You only need the Wii controller and a bluetooth connection"

The idea of realize a Interactive Whiteboards with a projector and a
wiimote is very good (and quite cheap)!
(considering that in Italy, president Berlusconi allocate about 30
million euro to provide 10000 interactive  Whiteboards :-( .....)
