I bought a bluetooth dongle the other day and soon got fed up of file transfer. After the first couple of random junk videos and pictures were sent i thought "surely theres more you can do with a bluetooth phone and dongle"
Sure enough there was. Remote control of itunes via the phone, GENIUS!
After much searching i stumbled upon the salling clicker software. And it works like a charm in fact i'm using it now, even tho i'm sat at my pc lol.
Also earlier today whilst round at Ian's i discovered that wiimotes (the wii console controllers in case you didnt know) are bluetooth devices!
And with a bit of googling found some software (glovePIE) which allows you to run scripts making good use of the wiimote as a controller. And yes all the features like motion sensing / tilt etc work.
After using the wiimote as a mouse, using the sensor bar on top of Ian's TV i decided it was a good investment to buy just a wiimote and forget about the wii, seen as i found some pretty good games in development for pc (all flash based) that use the wiimote to control.
As for my own sensor bar, i'm thinkin of dismantling some tv remotes for there IR LED's as thats all the sensor bar is.
I shall keep updated on any more bluetooth amazingness i find.
