Gaming on Openmoko?

I've bought a Think Outside (also known as iGo?) bluetooth keyboard like
this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823203005R
They are a bit cheaper on ebay, but anyway, it will be a good way to
have an external controller (as well as a full keyboard for
programming!)

Also, I just finished heading up a project with several of my classmates
at www.libwiiact.org that interfaces with the wiimote (actually to
implement head tracking) and runs on linux...I'd be interested in
working on some games combining the wiimote and OM.
