Any chance anyone has figured out a way to tether their Nintendo Wii to their HTC touch via the rear USB ports?

Why would you?

To use the web connectivity on my phone for my Wii - no wireless

For the same reason you would want to connect to a DS, PSP, Xbox, PS3, or even an actual computer. High speed internet access!!!

I may be confused here too. You need an internet connection to use the wii on wireless so can't you just hook your phone to your internet connection(PC)? Unless you are using someone else's wireless signal I guess?

Not everyone has internet in their homes. I actually tether my touch to my desktop pc, and my MacBook. No sense paying an extra $60/month for a cable modem when my Rev A is quite sufficient.

I think WMWifiRouter is working on a version that works with the Wii. Currently, the only game console it works with is the Xbox360.

You could tether the touch to a laptop (or PC if its close to the Wii), then use internet sharing via ethernet cable to get it to work. I have actually done this with my 360 before. You would also need the USB ethernet dongle for the Wii, since it doesnt have a built in ethernet port.

As far as tethering it directly to the Wii...I doubt that will ever happen....Nintendo would need to release some sort of driver or firmware upgrade for that to happen.
