having plaid with this type of thinguis, and having spent quite some time 
thinking about all of this things in another life (last year) 
may i suggest instead of using the pointer thing use the positional thing

i can explain .... till the remote up and you scroll up tilt it down and .... 
you get it.... the more you tilt it the faster it goes .... the cool thing 
about this is that it can work with any standard remote using the jog dial 
they all have, if you have a wii thingy (there are more out there). + ist way 
way more easy that using the wii pure pointer, and you can use it in a rest 
position.

I also have some mocks on how the entire thing should look...
