The Loop is really stable and precise. And the motion is relative so you can hold it in your lap even. You don't point it like a pistol. The two products are hardly comparable in use.

It works great and you have several buttons you can configure. Wiimote costs $40 Drivers can be found on the internet for free. We’ve used a Wiimote as a mouse pointer via bluetooth.

Played with it at CES 2007. And the Hillcrest tech is integrated/licensed into some Logitech and Kodak products. I think they've had a hard time finding set-top box partners (they have a nice 10' UI), which is why they're trying direct retail now. I'm not hopeful. Shoot, this thing is old.

I've never used this one but plenty of places I've worked at have Gyration mouses and there's no way you can really use them as a mouse in the air. It's just too difficult to have any accuracy and your arms get tired before you even managed to hit a target. I’ve never used an air-mouse that works properly.
