Use your smartphone as a bluetooth keyboard for your PC or PS3!
The
busy team at MobileSrc has been hard at work implementing one of the harder hacks on Windows Mobile – writing a new Windows Mobile bluetooth profile.
They have implemented the Human Interface bluetooth Profile as a source, allowing anyone to use their smartphone as a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for any bluetooth connected PC. With this solution there is no need to install any software on your desktop, unlike other server-based solutions, and this allows the software to work on any device with the HID profileimplemented, meaning potentially the software will work even with non-PC devices like the PS3.
This solution works very well when you are using a PC as a media centre, as demonstrated in this video from PocketNow below, but I believe where it really comes into its own is as a bluetooth keyboard for a PS3, where it will increase the usefulness of the PS3 web browser exponentially.
The software costs a very reasonable $8.99, and is available from
the WMPoweruser software store here.
