N770 To Control A PC?
 
anyone know if it's possible to use the N770 using bluetooth or wifi to control a PC like a keyboard and mouse?

using a touch screen keyboard and the buttons on the side as a mouse?

i havent got an N770 bu this is the reason i want one, because i have 3 PCs in different rooms and dont want 3 different ses of keyboards and mice as 2 of them are used just to watch films and such.

i don want it to just control media applications, i would prefer if it would function like a full keyboard and mouse

anyone know of such an application??

also would battery life be a problem using such an application?

if no such thing is available on he N770 and someone knows what iom talkin about, could you please direct me to something that does the job.

thanks

not exactly, although i would love to know how to do that seeing as im not a linux user and most of my stuff is done with PCs


but i want basically the whole screen to be a keyboard that i use to as an input device, wireless on a PC. like a wireless keyboard with the d pad or whatever it is acting like a mouse

Errr... install RDesktop (Remote Desktop) or VNC on your 770. :) Windows XP comes with Remote Desktop server built in, so you would just install RDesktop on your 770 and establish a connection to your PC. VNC is cross platform so allows you to remotely control Windows, Linux, and MAC computers, plus other Internet Tablets as long as the remote device has VNC server installed and you have VNC client installed on your 770.

You could probably do something like that with either RDesktop or VNC, using the finger keyboard on the 770. Not very elegant though, but then I'm not sure what other choice you have.

id really like the keyboard thing as id be using window slive messenger from time to time.
