Titan as Bluetooth Keyboard

[pleasestirme]

I am finally upgrading to a touchpro and I was wondering what to do with my old Titan. . . when I found this Remote Control that I want for my HTPC here: http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0283492

But this remote costs 160! Then my thoughts went back to my old Titan.... you can see where this is going.....

I know that no2chem did some work on making a keyboard driver to use the phone's keypad as a PC's USB keyboard.

Did anyone make a bluetooth driver to attach your phone as a bluetooth keyboard?
What about using the touchsceen as a touchpad mouse?

If it does not exist, is anyone interested in taking on this project?

I look at it this way. As our phones become more and more enabled with gizmos, there will be more and more uses for them when we retire them as phones.

Thanks for your feedback!

Not exactly a keyboard, but I use Salling Clicker to control my laptop... there are both windows and mac versions of the program, and it can control a number of programs using the touchscreen... I use if for some powerpoint stuff, but there are some other applications that can be controlled. I believe it allows user scripts too, though my needs are met with the basic program. Costs $24 to register, they also have a free trial available.

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.

This one is pretty good, does what you asked and a lot more.
