The guys and girls entrenched in the homebrew scene continue to impress us, a fact that we assure you has nothing to
do with their ability to make our precious DS babies explode from a mere keystroke on their computers. They're really
very good. Take, for example, this latest DS application, DS2Key. Upon loading it on your DS and your
computer, it turns your portable wonder into a Wi-Fi controller. It's like a folding little Wavebird expressly designed for your emulated SNES games (of which you own the originals, by the way). Though this application only uses the buttons on the DS, we may see something that uses the touch-screen further down the line. Using the DS as a universal remote control unit for your various pieces of equipment sounds like a great idea, with each one getting its own little virtual touch-screen interface. Want to turn down the air conditioner a notch? Just spin the 2D temperature knob with your stylus. How about turning on the room's light? Just slide your stylus over the virtual switch.
Somebody should totally pay us for these ideas.
