Control your Thinkpad via a Bluetooth device

Primarily, this is mostly used with mobile phones. Although I do believe you can use it with any Bluetooth enabled device that has a at least a minimal user UI or can access one.

Careful, though, as this takes bluejacking to a whole new level. Wouldn't want to lose control of ones computer due to a roaming, un-checked Bluetooth sync pairing in a crowd now would we? ;) :)

I am in the process of trying it out and will post back with results. :)

Have you tried it out yet? I can't get to the link since our network has been mostly down for the past week...I don't know why these IT people still have jobs here.

Would the bluetooth control be simple things like adjusting volume, or does it go deeper than that?
