Software to use phone as Bluetooth adapter for your PC?
 
Does such software exist? I was just thinking how I want a Bluetooth adapter for my PC, then remembered my phone has Bluetooth (like just about everyone else's). I tried searching, but can't really find anything that pertains to what I'm looking for.

I've seen this feature in the WIDCOM (now known as Broadcom) Bluetooth stack. I think they are offering the drivers again now.

I have successfully used my computer as a headset/microphone for my phone, so it stands to reason it should work the other way.

The Windows native bluetooth stack is lacking to say the least.

What I'm trying to do is use my Wiimote on my PC, via my phone's Bluetooth. The phone itself can recognize the Wiimote, it's the other part that's the problem.

I have to ask. Have you ever used fspse (Playstation emulator)? I was looking for a bluetooth controller that would work for that, but it seemed like my only options were online. It would be cool if it worked.

Haven't tried it yet, but t looks awesome, and it would be awesome to use the classic controller on it. I don't think there's any chance of the Wiimote working, at least right away. All you have to do is press the sync button and have your Bluetooth connection search for a device, and it'll pair up, but there's essentially nothing you can do with it since there's no software written to actually use it as an input device on Windows Mobile. Hopefully fspse at least inspires someone to get the Wiimote (and accessories) working on WM, since some 30 million people in the US have at least one.
