Is there a app for the P800 that lets you control your pc via Bluetooth, like christersson.org's PC Control app?

Would be nice - must be more ppl than me who'd like to sit in their sofa and control winamp

You can get a VNC application from over at my-symbian.com and use TightVNC from http://www.tightvnc.com - you should be able to do a search on here for further instructions.

Or take a look at the No.3 award here: http://www.symbian.com/news/2003/devcomp-feat.html

I've been trying their P800 RemoteControl software and it is superb, the VNC was very slow and unreliable but this just works!

Yeah, I knew about those, and they're cool when you're away from home, but as i costs me about 2$/MB of transferred data on GPRS, it'd be nice to have the P800 work kind of like a bluetooth-mouse.
Additional functionality that lets you have mediaplayer-controls, like on some "multimedia"-keyboards, too would be nice

All-in-all it'd be like the irRemote app that's allready out there, except for PC.

Is it just me, or do other people find this useful?

[EDIT] Duh! Just realized how stupid I am

Sorry for wasting your time...

...or have a look at "PuppetMaster". Unfortunately not free, but looks decent.

I use Anycom Bluetooth Phone Control which came with my Anycom card. Great for Powerpoint, Media Player, Freecell

etc. Needs at least a T68 for best results, but works with T39 as well and that's what I use to control Powerpoint now in my presentation.
