The end arrives for Zeemote

Sources from sister site ME have also confirmed that Zeemote is no longer a going concern.

The company released one product, the Zeemote JS1 gaming controller. It was an analogue Bluetooth joystick originally for playing mobile games, although more recently Zeemote launched an application - Zeekey - that enabled the device to control all aspects of a phone.

Zeemote struck deals with Nokia and Sony Ericsson to distribute the joysticks, but it seems those deals were not enough to keep the company in business.

The question now is who might buy the company's assets. Those two handset makers could be in the frame, as well as Research In Motion, with whom Zeemote was working in recent months.
