phone as remote OK...I know I'm a gadget junkie, but this is really cool. This morning I installed an application called the Sony Ericsson Clicker. From the Read Me file: Introduction Welcome to the first preview release of Sony Ericsson Clicker! Clicker lets you remotely control your Macintosh from a compatible Sony Ericsson phone. Here are some ideas on how to use Clicker: Control PowerPoint or Keynote when giving presentations. Control DVD Player or iTunes from your sofa or bed. Use AppleScript to control anything you like! Further, Sony Ericsson Clicker has a built in "proximity sensor", allowing you to trigger actions when you leave or come back to your Mac. Again, here are some ideas: Pause iTunes when you leave the room, turn it on when you come back. Use AppleScript to let your presence (or absence) control anything you like! 10:14:25 AM    comment []
