  Direct detection dark matter experiments, lead by the CDMS collaboration,
have placed increasingly stronger constraints on the cross sections for elastic
scattering of WIMPs on nucleons. These results impact the prospects for the
indirect detection of dark matter using neutrino telescopes. With this in mind,
we revisit the prospects for detecting neutrinos produced by the annihilation
of WIMPs in the Sun. We find that the latest bounds do not seriously limit the
models most accessible to next generation kilometer-scale neutrino telescopes
such as IceCube. This is largely due to the fact that models with significant
spin-dependent couplings to protons are the least constrained and, at the same
time, the most promising because of the efficient capture of WIMPs in the Sun.
We identify models where dark matter particles are beyond the reach of any
planned direct detection experiments while within reach of neutrino telescopes.
In summary, we find that, even when contemplating recent direct detection
results, neutrino telescopes still have the opportunity to play an important as
well as complementary role in the search for particle dark matter.
