There's actually quite a bit of potential here if someone would put this idea back in the oven.

I agree that the concept is good, but there needs to be some further thought. I posed some of these same questions, and now they've been published back at the labs.autodesk.com blog.
I had hoped for use of the Wiimote as a navigation tool AND pointing/selecting device. I was then reminded that the pointing portion of the Wiimote is done through IR, and that I don't have my Wii IR sensor plugged into my computer.
If the Wiimote could send cursor movements through the bluetooth connections, then we would have a more useful tool.
I still think that this initial concept gets high marks for "coolness".
Yep - absolutely. The UI of the Wiimote is quite intuitive.
Both hand held devices used together would be quite compelling: one hand for navigation and the other hand for selecting/highlighting.
And it could be used in combination with this interesting approach to head tracking:

All you need for the Wiimote to pick up movement for pointing and selecting is some sort of IR source (the wii "Sensor" bar by your computer would do the trick, or a couple candles, or even just some IR Leds placed in a line a handful of inches apart and wired to a battery). The Wiimote is a IR camera instead of the other way around.
It won’t be wrong to call a software company backbone of the IT sector. But off late this backbone has suffered major setbacks that have reflected in the overall depression that the IT sector went through. Though in many countries like the US the sector went through a downward slope in certain other countries it has managed to be stable at the plateau stage.
