Had a look at this some time ago. Six-Axis and Wiimote both use bluetooth and work great, albeit with a lot of tweaking to be had. The Xbox360 wireless controllers unfortunately use a different proprietary wireless protocol (the name eludes my memory, sorry) so its possible only with the Microsoft-made wireless adapter. Though you could in theory swap the usb-plug for a micro-usb one, but still would be missing usb host-mode for connecting it.

@Matt Miller – I have been keeping on top of what the N900 can do. I have been pushing mine to the limit. I enjoy re-flashing it when I make a mistake. The beauty of the N900 is the ease-of-use factor for beginners, but the expandability for early adopters. There are little flaws in the device itself, mostly OS based, but I believe these will be all perfected in Maemo 6. I also find the MobileTechRoundup insightful and funny. You guys do a great job.

I sold my ipod to buy the Nokia E63 which has all my music, and podcasts without ever needing to connect to my computer.

I do like the usability of Apple products, but everyone I have owned so far has failed in a couple of years. Yet, the public seems to accept them even for their failures and lock down. I also do not like the perceived arrogance of Mr. Jobs. I have an iPhone primarily for app testing, but could give it up now that I have the N900 and a Nexus One.

The more I use my N900 the less and less my desire for an iPad gets. I highly doubt I will get one, too expensive and too limiting.

I still haven't found where you stand on Apple Matt. You like the iPad, own and iPhone, but make digs about Apple whenever you get the chance.

I know why you like the N900. It's a powerful device and everyday I find more and more of what it is capable of doing. What are your likes and dislikes about Apple? Personally, I don't like the way they are sticking it to the consumer. And the whole Adobe Flash thing really bothers me.

This video of the PS3 controller on the N900 is amazing and I will definitely have to get mine working.
