It was posted on http://www.engadget.com .
It is for Linux only and they haven't released a guide or anything to get it working yet.

I do know that a third party manufacturer was making wii-mote imitations for use on all consoles.
apparently sony has filed for a patent for a device much like the wiimote too.
If the wii takes off, than I wouldn't be surprised to see store shelves hit with 70 different kinds of wiimote-like accessories in a few years.

Ok I found the Wiimote driver for Linux:
http://forthewiin.org/
Anyone want to try it? I have neither a PS3 nor a wiimote so I can't at the moment.

is that all that can be use on it, or can it be played in the ps3 using the wiimote?

############################################################
####### I. INTRODUCTION: READ ME FIRST OR ELSE #########
##**********************************************************
## It is important that you read this before
## trying to use WMD, or else you will fail miserably.
##
## You need technical knowledge and Linux experience
## if you are to succeed in installing WMD without help.
##
## But more than that, you need to install the following:
##
## ** BlueZ (MUST!)
##
## ** PyBluez 0.9.1 (MUST!) # aka python-bluez? on ubuntu
## http://org.csail.mit.edu/pybluez/release/pybluez-src-0.9.1.tar.gz
##
## To use Xlib event mode (GOOD)
## ++ python-xlib 0.12
## ++ with buffer overflow patch (READ SECTION: XLIB)
##
## To use uinput event mode (GOOD)
## ++ Linux 2.6 kernel with evdev and uinput modules
##
## To have real-time graphs of the accelerometer data (GOOD!)
## ++ Matplotlib 0.80 // 0.87 and above seem to require a patch for now
## http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/
## To use the OSD (GOOD)
## ++ PyOSD 0.2.14 http://repose.cx/pyosd/
##
## To use uinput events to move the mouse (BAD!)
## This hasn't been tested in a while...
## ++ Xorg 7.0 with evdev
##
##
###############
## SECTION XLIB
###############
##
## You must used a PATCHED python-xlib 0.12 because the original
## has a terrible bug that prevents it from starting with modern Xorg
## python-xlib hasn't been maintained in years, but the patch is simple.
##
## First you install python-xlib 0.12
##
## Then you find the file protocol/display.py
#### locate protocol/display.py | grep -v pyc
## /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Xlib/protocol/display.py
##
##
## Then you check if it's already patched
#### grep self.socket.recv /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Xlib/protocol/display.py
## recv = self.socket.recv(4096)
##
## If the value is 4096, all is good
## If the value is 2048, you need to edit the file and change the value to 4096
##
## It's THAT EASY!
##
## On Gentoo, dev-python/python-xlib-0.12-r2 is already patched.
##

#### PREFLIGHT CHECK - IF YOU'RE HAVING ANY TROUBLE
#### RUN THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS AND COMPARE THE OUTPUT

#### gzcat /proc/config.gz | grep -iE "evdev|uinput"
## CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y
## CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT=m

## WOW I JUST NOTICED THAT I Can actually type while I have a wiimote.
## I can simply losen it, and I always feel it but it doesnt disturb me.
## Except .. if I try to use the mouse. Therefore, I need a micro-LED bar
## on my monitors if I want this to be reality.
## You have the wiimote in front of your keyboard, laid out so that the
## keys can be used as a second keyboard. You can have a wiimote stand and a
## better strap too.
## Technique: hold down with one thumb.
## It's a THUMB CONTROLLER.
## And you pick it up with two hands
## There is practice with the left hand
## You use it instead of a mouse, train with it
## With a special LED bar on your monitor, the bottom of it.
### REWRITE CONFIG TREE INTO METACONFIG TREE
### WITH META-INFORMATION IN COMMENTS
# YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO DO THIS:
## If you want do use XEVDEV IO, you need to install evdev_drv for Xorg
## You also need to add this section to your xorg.conf
#
# Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier "Wiimote"
# Driver "evdev"
# Option "Name" "Nintendo Wiimote"
# EndSection
#
## You will also need to modify your ServerLayout section.
## You must have only one CorePointer, but you can have
## many AlwaysCore devices. You don't need a Synaptics
## touchpad, I just have one on my laptop.
## So this is what the beginning of my xorg.conf looks like:
#
# Section "ServerLayout"
# Identifier "X.org Configured"
# Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
# InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
# InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
# InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" "AlwaysCore"
# InputDevice "Wiimote" "AlwaysCore"
# EndSection
#
## Scaling is known to work badly with evdev_drv

this is just another case of thunder undiserved. this is a very simple hack, one any programmer could have done. its running with linux, and anything runs with linux. same with the guy emulating windows and being all "ooo omg windows on ps3 i uberpwn, look" for something i even knew. when a hack for using the wii-mote in game comes out, that would be something worth recognition.
But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

@sihota- No because the PS3 doesn't have any IR ports.
