Zeemote To Be “Works With Nokia”

By Wampyre on March 5, 2010

The little handheld joystick Zeemote have been around for some time now, but still haven’t gained the momentum of fame.

Going under the umbrella of Nokias developer programme “Works With Nokia” Zeemote can finally be acknowledged. The “Works With Nokia program have the mission to have Nokias logo featured on products that as the name implies works with Nokia, much like the stickers with “Intel inside” and “Windows Vista” on computers.

The Zeemote JS1 is to be sold in retail packages for a price of 29,99 Euros in which a voucher for a game by Gameloft is included. The Zeemote JS1 supports handsets running S60 3rd and 5th edition of Symbian which means handsets such as the X6 and E72

The only missing thing on handsets running S60 5th edition is that the menu key can’t be configured to work with the Zeemote, whereas this works flawlessly on the S60 3rd edition, so in my opinion it doesn’t “works with Nokia” quite yet.

Have you had your try on the Zeemote yet?

Cheung Yuen Wong had his first meeting with Symbian when he acquired the N-Gage Classic phone. Swiftly after he became addicted and amazed at the possibilities in which the Symbian operating system offered in terms of usability and power. You can follow Cheung on Twitter at @Wampyre.

    I purchased one of these about a month ago for my N97 and have enjoyed using it for some of my N97-as-home-media-tool tasks. Pretty neat stuff, though it would be nice to be a touch more customizable.

    I've loved the Zeemote since I first saw it – it's a freakin brilliant piece of kit, I wish they were more high profile, especially for gaming.

    There's also an N900 plugin to use the ZeeMote with that, if you're interested.

    I have one of these and it works well with my E71. I have used it to play games on emulator platforms like C64, ScummVM as well as with vNES. I have used it to control the media player on my mobile and to navigate the menus on my Garmin while on the move. A big shortcoming is the inability to easily (read without going into the Zeekey app and manually re-acquiring the controller) reconnect to the device once it times out. I am hopeful this kink can be ironed out now that it has been anointed as a “Works with Nokia” device. This is pretty exciting news!!
