I just bought a PS3 and this would kick butt as a media keyboard/remote control for the PS3. Have it working with my XP tablet, great little app.

I wish there was something like this app that ran over TCP, instead of BT. You would probably have to install some sort of daemon on the computer to be controlled, but after that, you could send any keystrokes / mouse events you liked to that computer from the tablet, as long as the two had a "clear route" between them on the network.

I agree with qole totally, remove the blue part and allow it to be tied to a specific machine (or set of) and you remove lots of hurdles.
this is how my extremely simplistic tv remote control works (python on device, vb on desktop), and from the day I have had it to today its worked flawlessly.
as long as I have a network connection I can control the volume from anywhere in the world.
*btw, i didnt literally mean strip out the bluetooth connection, merely add a new connection path

I also I agree with the previous 2 posters. If that were added this would be even more amazing.

Yes, this would be great over WiFi. I'm converting a old *** computer in the garage into a HTPC, and it does not have bluetooth. While I could do a daisy chain via my computer, a native WiFi mode will be cool.
Maybe daemons for Linux and XP and Mac are necessary, but I think there could be preexisting programs. Duh, there already is! Its synergy! If BlueMaemo could include synergy support (or something like that), that would be SO COOL.

Please excuse me while my head explodes thinking of the possibilities 
Having this work over wifi would be the icing on the cake
Hey VDVsx....If you didn't get an extremely high grade for your work on this...I think there are enough of us that we could start an email campaign to the Prof.....
Great Job!

With some hacking though...

I kinda like it having bluetooth support more then tcp over over the net. You don't always have an internet connection when u do presentations.

that isnt a solution if you have to keep getting up everytime you want to use it to reconnect it.
I never have to worry about such things with my normal remote control, why should I with this?
