My friends at Zeemote make the coolest Bluetooth controller for mobile phones ever. If you have not seen it then you need to look into it. They were at GC in force this week and with good reason. They signed a very cool deal with Nokia in Germany. The Zeemote is now natively compatible with all games on the N-Gage gaming service. That means that anyone developing for the Symbian 60 Nokia phones and N-Gage service don’t even need to worry about putting the 3 or 4 hours and 20KB of code in their games any more.

It also means that German mobile gamers are on the cusp of realizing the greatest mobile gaming experiences ever available on any handset.

The Zeemote guys also let me see Zeekey which allows the unit to control the S60 phones entirely. This means not only can you use it to game but you can also use it to control the media features, camera, GPS and other systems thanks to the fully programmable interface and button mapping. With a phone like the Nokia N95 you basically have a built in remote control and with the TV out feature of the phone you could do anything from sharing vacation photos with family and friends to doing a business presentation or snapping a photo and geotagging it.

Now see how cool this is? One could hook their S60 Nokia up to their home AV system and not have to even get up to answer the phone when it rings, theoretically. Germans get all the cool stuff.

Hopefully this is the beginning of something big for the Zeemote guys. Extending this deal to other countries and territories means that soon all gamers might be able to experience what I am now calling the Zeemote difference. Playing a game with the Zeemote adds 10-15% to the experience and could turn a game that is 75% because of poor controls into a 90%. I have even been showing off the device to some gamers here in Leipzig and have been having them play the games without it and then with it and even they said ’Wow, that is cool!’ which is what I also said.

So contact your local provider, handset maker or mobile game portal and ask them why they aren’t giving you the best mobile gaming experience you could get. Maybe you might even contact your favorite mobile game developer or publisher and ask them why they are not interested in giving you that high level gaming experience. That is if your favorite is THQ, Capcom or Konami because the current list looks like this:
