Sony Ericsson brings Zeemote JS1 Controller to market

by: Bena Roberts Monday, August 4th, 2008

Remember that joystick for mobile gaming that I keep writing about? Well, finally Sony Ericsson has signed up for it and it will go into retail promotion in the Netherlands for the new W760i consumer mobile device?

What joystick I keep writing about?

The one from Zeemote. It is a really simple easy to pay joystick that uses Bluetooth to control mobile game playing.
From the press release

“Sony Ericsson prides itself on bringing intuitive technologies to its customers. We recently announced the motion gaming F305 and we’re delighted to be giving our Netherlands customers the opportunity to be the first to own an award winning Zeemote JS1 controller,” said Max Van Den Berg, General Manager at Sony Ericsson Benelux. “Adding a new dimension, such as controllers for mobile gaming, gives us and our customers a competitive edge!”

“Mobile gaming will never be the same as the Zeemote(TM) JS1 launches through our first commercial relationship with Sony Ericsson”. Said Jim Adams, VP of Worldwide Sales at Zeemote. “We are delighted to partner with Sony Ericsson and give users even more of a reason to buy the feature packed W760i. This agreement is the first of a number of deals we intend to announce over the coming months.”

What we think?

I have watched this joystick get smaller and the company grow since its birth. I first met Zeemote at Orange partner camp so let’s see if Orange is also the first mobile operator to sign with SE to get an exclusive on this deal.
