Join Paul's mail list	Thursday, April 22, 2004   :: Controlling a PC via Bluetooth Phone :: Via the Ecademy network, I came across an employee of Baracoda and from there I ended up surveying their website. They have interesting products utilising Bluetooth and barcode readers, an inevitable area of convergence. Personally, I would like to see a barcode reader built into a "sleek device" (see IXI Mobile), like a watch. It would then be very accessible to the consumer for a variety of uses, some of which are discussed in my book. What I also found on Baracoda's site was an interesting free download to turn my T68i into a remote control for my PC, which already had the requisite BT dongle. It was quite strange, and highly satisfying, to have remote mouse control via my phone. This is a demo I had been hoping to show on various training courses - and now I have it! It is a fantastic way of enabling presentations to be remotely controlled. I had previously gone out and bought a dedicated device for this purpose. 4:53:21 PM    comment []   © Copyright 2004 Paul Golding. Last update: 5/17/2004; 11:02:29 AM.
