Every heard of HID?

A variety of phones already have the HID profile built in. I can use my Sony Ericsson phone with my bluetooth dongle to act as my mouse. Kinda cool when I dont have time to run and buy batteries for my wireless mouse. When i use the phone, I can do all the same stuff I can with my mouse. Just use the dpad to direct where the pointer is going & soft keys/center button to do the clicking...
Hmmm...the article states that you would wave your phone in front of the screen and use it that way. The one you use you say you use the navigation pad? Sounds much easier than moving your phone all over the screen.

won't catch on

I heavily doubt this will every catch on to anyone that isn't a huge geek.

Not useless, but probably just won't ever happen unless it's automatically built into all phones.

And that probably won't happen.

Most people think Bluetooth is just an earpiece to the phone. Heaven forbid you try to explain it can do more.
