			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.mobilewitch.com/bluetooth-remote-control.php">MobileWitch</a> Remote Control turns your mobile phone into a remote control that can control various applications on your PC. The software does have a few limitations and requirements though. Both the PC and mobile phone have to support Bluetooth which is being used to send and receive the data. The user installs a server on the PC and a client on the mobile phone. Both applications have been programmed in Java. The author is explicitly mentioning Nokie mobile phones but chance is good that it works on other mobile phone brands as well as long as they meet the requirements.</p>
<p>The PC server application has to be started first. A small notification area displays status information and error messages. Everything else is handled by the mobile phone application. It provides four different modes: Mouse mode, Keyboard mode, Application mode and Utilities.</p>
<p>Mouse and keyboard mode give the user control over the computer&#8217;s mouse or keyboard which can be controlled with a joystick or the numeric keys. Application mode handles six applications that can be controlled using that mode if installed and on top of any other windows on the computer desktop.</p>

<p>The applications are <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/tag/firefox/">Firefox</a>, Winamp, Windows Media Player, PowerPoint, <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/tag/internet-explorer/">Internet Explorer</a> and Explorer. The last mode Utilities provides access to running commands or sending messages.</p>
<p>The application does not require any configuration of Bluetooth or Java on both the client or server which will appeal to many users who usually shy away from such applications. It could be handy in several situations like business presentations, lying on the coach at home and listening to Winamp or Windows Media Player or starting a command without having to go near the computer.</p>
