Romeo: More T68i Remote Control Software

Posted by pudge on from the the-jungle-will-never-be-the-same dept.

interdigitate writes " There is another piece of beta Mac OS X software called Romeo which also allows you to control your Mac using the Sony Ericsson T68i Phone. It works like the Sony Ericsson Clicker except it is freeware." For now, it does not support arbitrary AppleScripts like Clicker does, but it does allow using the phone as a remote mouse. Also note that Apple has put up a page of Clicker scripts.

    I've never thought, "Gee, I wish I could use my computer from across the room, but dammit, I don't have a wireless mouse with the sufficient range... Wait! I've got a cellphone! If only..."

    I suppose it actually has some practical use - Maybe Steve Jobs will use his cell phone to control his KeyNote presentations, or does he already?

    I thought, "how cool, I have to install this immediately." No luck; very unstable, lots of application crashes.

    Then I realized why... My computer is named Juliet.
