Hi There,
I have a computer connected to my lounge TV and I wonder if I could use my n900 as an external keyboard/mouse (via wireless or bluetooth).
Is it possible?

You can find BlueMaemo in the extras-devel repository. The community as a whole usually doesn't recommend that you install stuff from there though, as stuff in there is incomplete and is intended for people who know exactly what they're doing.

Hi There,
Thank you for your feedback.
I enabled the extras-devel repository just to install / test this application.
But unfortunately, I couldn't find the app.

Yes, the name shows up as "BlueMaemo". Make sure your catalog definition matches what's shown here exactly.
I just uninstalled it and reinstalled to verify, definitely there.
