I know theres an amp for this on the PC called Floats Mobile Agent which allows you to use your Sony Ericsson T68i as a controller to completely control Winamp (Mp3 player for PC) over bluetooth, I was wondering if any of you can make something like this for Mac OS X to control iTunes with! That would kick ass! Or a frontend to iChat so you can reply directly from your phone over bluetooth... for those of you who have no idea of what I'm talking about, go look up Floats Mobile Agent... I would really love to control iTunes from my phone over bluetooth!

Over at Ars I read that somebody is going to make something that will do this and it will also be a remote for the DVD player. Let me see if I can find the link.

Ah, here it is:

It will also function as a mouse.

That would be awesome...i hope someone make the app soon. It would be extremely useful for passing slides in Keynote presentations.

Use it as a mouse? Odd.

Controlling iTunes would be cool though.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Yes!!! using it to do iPhoto and Keynote presentations with your t68i would be awesome! Another good idea, i hope somebody posts that up for the developer... is there a site where we can all pitch in and add opinions and advice and features so the developer(s) can discuss with us?

Here's what would be on my wishlist for this kind of app...
  • ability to control iTunes
  • ability to control Keynote presentations
  • ability to control Apple's DVD Player
  • Ability to send/receive iChat messages

I agree this would be awesome. As Pip from SP would say "I'd pay $50 for one!"

This is one of the few apps I really wanted for OSX. Can't wait until it comes out!
