Wiimote Whiteboard Software

This is just a list of software you can use to get the Wiimote Whiteboard working:

Johnny Chung Lee's original Wiimote Whiteboard program: http://johnnylee.net/projects/wii/ - FREE - once you have connected the wiimote to the computer via bluetooth, you need to run this program to help translate the Wii's signals into mouse click and drags. Once its up and running, you can use your infrared pen as a mouse. You don't get any digital ink capabilities with this, so you'll need to use whatever your computer has (e.g. paintbrush) or download third party digital ink (or interactive whiteboard) programs).

Boon Jin's SMOOTHboard
http://www.smoothboard.net - free trial, $30 USD to remove registration popups. This program is an EFFECTIVE REPLACEMENT of Johnny Lee's Wiimote Whiteboard (in fact it's a derivative, with a LOT of improvements). Not only does this program translate Wiimote input into mouse clicks and drags, but it also has built in basic digital ink capabilities. It has a toolbar to make using written annotations in Powerpoint really easy. If you already have Powerpoint on your computer, I reckon $30 is all you need to spend to get 90% functionality of an interactive whiteboard that you would normally use.

SMART Notebook 10
http://www2.smarttech.com/st/en-US/Products/SMART+Board+software/ - if your employer already owns the hardware, the licence is free. However, if you want to use it with a Wiimote Whiteboard, it's $450 AUD (www.electroboard.com.au is the Australian distributor).

This company actual makes the physical interactive whiteboard as the brand Smart Board. They make different models, but use the Notebook 10 software to leverage its use.

This software is miles ahead of Smoothboard in features and cost. If you have used Paintbrush with your Wiimote + IR pen, and then use the Notebook 10 software, you don't want to go back. You will need to shell out $450 though for the competitive licence.

ActivInspire by Promethean

Personal edition is free - Professional Edition is $299 USD.
I haven't tried it yet - but I am going to assume that since this company is a competitor to SMART tech, and also make their own physical interactive whiteboards, their software should be of similar calibre. I don't know the difference between the Personal and Professional Editions, but I have downloaded the Personal edition and will try it out soon (I've just checked the licence and I am permitted to use it with the Wiimote Whiteboard without further permission - that's one up on SMART).

KindleLab - http://www.kindlelab.com
Open source (FREE?) software designed for interactive whiteboards. I downloaded this ages ago and had trouble using it (wasn't user friendly in my opinion). I'll download it again to see if they have any updated versions and see if they are any better.
