Wii Fit push up bars make sense, but this one isn’t worth dollars thumbnail

Push-up bars for the Wii Balance Board ? Now that sounds like a fantastic idea — just the thing broad-shouldered individuals need to play Wii Fit without backstrain. Too bad this particular set of bars isn’t worth the plastic it’s printed from

If you’ll recall, FLO TV showed off a proof-of-concept for getting its mobile TV service onto the iPhone back in November of last year .
