    http://almaer.com/blog/being-open-is-hard-as-we-have-seen-this-week

I have been amazed by responsiveness of the Wiimote and now Dion Almaer and Ben Galbraith over at Ajaxian have developed an Ajax app that uses Wiiusej to interact with the Wiimote. The Wiiusej API is a java wrapper for the C based Wiiuse library. We then wrote a Java class that acts as a state machine for what the remote

Update: Dion Almaer posted a video (embedded below) from the JavaFX demo: And here’s a ZDNet video of Sun executives Rich Green and Nandini Ramani showing the JavaFX environment at the JavaOne Conference in San Francisco:

    http://ajaxian.com/archives/porting-dojo-methods-to-flash
