I am on a quest for the perfect treadmill computing platform (so I'm not sitting on my arse ALL day), so I can stay connected and work while I exercise. Currently I use the HTC Advantage, bluetooth keyboard, external display optional.
This would be even better with an "air" mouse- like the gyrate (http://archive.gamespy.com/hardware/march03/pv2/index3.shtml) or new logitech (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/3443&cl=us,enhttp://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/3443&cl=us,en).
Anyone know if either of these, something similar, or anything else non-surface-dependent (trackball?) can run on Windows Mobile?
thanks in advance.

Since I'm a consultant specialized in custom sulution, I would recomend you looking into the iGo Stowaway BT Mouse (http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=147202)...
whitch you could "easely" make into a trackball by turning it upside down and attach a rubberball.. or something.
=)
What a project! Have you got any photos?

Hum? I'm sorry, didn't quite got what you meant by that? - I've tried to connect other bluetooth mouses with the ppc-driver without success..
@foaf: I don't know if you were talking about me, but I've never done this myself (yet anyway).. the thought about a upsidedown optical mouse firrst surficed when a client wanted something simular to the "virtusphere" ( http://www.virtusphere.com/ ) for an exhibit.. but the client dropped before I had a chance to try my idea...

Hi,
could anybody help me?
I try to find a keyboard for 10 finger typing with MDA Compact. What I need is:
- full number of rows i.e. 5 rows incl. space because of local characters typing - not like e.g. Stowaway IR keyboard
- full 19 mm space between keys - not like e.g. Javoedge keyboard
- standard positioning of rows PC-like, for example space between "1" and "2" is approx in the middle of "Q" - not like e.g. HP ipaQ bluetooth keyboard
My ideal solution for TRGpro (Palm OS) was Targus Stowaway keyboard. For MDA compact I haven't found any... I even do not ask for foldable keyboard... Maybe a smaller, "notebook like" blutetooth keyboard.
Thank you for any help
Try the Apple Bluetooth Wireless Pro Keyboard.
ITs a bit big to carry, but its great as a keyboard and nice to type on.

Thanks a lot for an idea, uh, really a bit big...
Have you seen this
http://www.virtual-laser-keyboard.com/
I also saw somewhere a gizmo that allows a full size keyboard to be used with pocket pc, dont know if that would help.

Thanks again, but for 10 finger typing without seeing you really need to be in touch with real keys.
Maybe something interesting for now
Hi, I have found "Motion's Bluetooth Mobile keyboard", see at: http://www.motioncomputing.com/products/motion_accessories.asp
They do not want to confirm that it will work with my MDA Compact, see the communication below. Could anybore more experienced here say it SHOUD work?
Thanks
-----------------
Martin,
The keyboard should ideally work with any device using bluetooth. The reality of it however is that sometimes drivers conflict, and make it difficult to pair with certain devices. Our Bluetooth Keyboard is only tested for our tablet, but many people use it with other devices. We do not however make any guarantees that it will work with any device other than our tablets.
Thank you for contacting Motion Computing

I know it might sound obvious but the O2 BT foldable keyboard is truly excellent by all accounts (a colleague has one) - decent useable size but folds up reasonably small too.
Apple BT keyboard
I use a Apple pro keyboard (USB) on my thinkpad when I´m at home - and love it!
Can anybody confirm that it works with the Magician?
No phone has USB host, so no the USB keyboard will not work.
You need a Bluetooth Keyboard at least.
I was talking about the bluetooth version of that apple keyboard (which I don`t own) I know that (at least the software) of the phone doesn`t support usb host capacity. Sorry if I didn`t make myself clear...
So, anybody ever used the keyboard with the mini?

Fuh, seems still no solution for me: I am not sure about O2 BT foldable keyboard branding, but I think this is the keyboard with the shifted upper row (see my first post)
- Btw no response from Motion after I had asked them about the international delivery possiblity
... and Apple bluetooth keyboard is really too big to fit to my briefcase.

I'll check and try to get you a photo.
I have to say, I never use mouse mode - iI find it awkward, and its easier to use the stylus etc, or just clunk with fingers inthe car...
But occasionally, mouse mode turns itself on! Not sure why. It did it in WM5, and I've triued all flavours of WM6 (currently usinfg BlackBlue 3.0)...
does anyone know how to completely disable/remove mouse mode? I wondered if there was a dll file that could be deleted/renamed or something?
Try renaming the mousemode.exe in the windows directory.
Just want to know if there is any Cab for
Mouse Mode in WM6
i saw a video - HERE
I think mousemode works if device has appropriate hardware.
Artemis blu trackball is the best i tryed, much more functionally then Samsung stick in linked video.

My back hurts because I have to lean over my laptop in order to type on the keyboard. I was wondering if there is app like MobileSRC except that it lets me use the physical keyboard to type instaed of the virtual keyboard?
You want to use the Xperia keyboard to drive your laptop and not the laptop keyboard to drive your Xperia?
Move your laptop and save you back
I do it the oppostie way, use my laptop keyboard & my mobiler to enter data, send texts etc on the Xperia. It's kinder to my fingers, eyes and back.

Well you don't understand. You are not me to feel my kind of empathy. The desk in which I use is terribly short and my office chair is an old design which is
probably 10 years old. I literally have to transform into a hunchback if I were to type.
That's no good, we have laws here to protect us from that sort of stuff. It must be bad if you'd be more porductive using the Xperia keyboard. A USB keyboard for the laptop would be no good?
I've not seen software to do what you want. Only the media player remotes etc.

SteveTLS, I am not talking about the workplace or school. In my school it the chairs are comfortable and studying is like heaven. But at home it is a totally different situation!
Oops, my bad. I was thinking of work not home, sorry about that.

nueUSB keyboard works perfect actually...you should try it. Freaking A+ Mazing.
Did you mean to say that you require a script from XDA to enable the keyboard with this app?
well... all I am saying is, that this script is called that way, but works on most of htc made qwerty devices. the main advantage of salling clicker is that it works over wifi or bt (Your choice).

Hi.
I searched much but it came with no result, it's hard to find phase there, because there is many similar threads.
I search for an application which will allow me to use my phone as wireless controller for games <- it's important because most keyhacks won't work with d3d because of cheating-prevention.
I got hardware keyboard and touch panel so I would use keyboard as keyboard and touch like touchpad.
None of wireless image is needed.
Is there anything like this?
Thanks for response in advance!
Cheers my bros, Luby

You can use the screen just like a mousepad on a laptop, and i'm pretty sure It will support hardware keyboard input

Don't work for games keyhook. I found that GRemote is okay.

Hey Folks,
I'm using the Desire HD with the Cyanogen Mod 7 (latest Version from 2 Days ago).
Now I connected via Menu (Wireless & Networks --> Bluetooth) a simple "noname" Bluetooth Mouse and the pairing did happen. I used "0000" as Pairing-Code and the Desire gives me the Message "Connected with HID-Device" (or something like that, I use the german language).
Now I should see a Mousearrow or something should happen if I scroll or press a Button.
But nothing happens.
The Mouse itselft works properly - I tried it in Windows7 and Suse-Linux.
I also tried the App BlueInput (latest and some previous versions) but there its the same. I get connected properly but it wont work.
Now I'm hopefully waiting for your ideas (and I hope there are some)
Thanks in advance!
Ok, correct me if I'm wrong, you want to use a mouse to control your handset? Where the handset is directly in front of you?
I dont know if Android supports this. If you wish to remotely control your handset try WebKey from the market.

Well, there is also a possibility to make use of a WiiMote...
I see this more as a proof of concept.
What about the Motorola Atrix within its "to-Netbook-conversation-Docking"?
Internal Keyboard + BT Mouse = playable Quake3 on Android
Err bubble to bursting station, you can use a wiimote on a DHD quite easily. You can even do it with Apps available from the market place, hey you can even use the classic controller and nunchuck with it.
I have used it (not entirely successfully) to play N64 games on an emulator
At first : Thanks for your responses!

Yes, I want to control my Desire HD with a mouse when I stand next to it. If I wouldn't, I wouldn't have asked for it
The thing is that I need a Mousewheel - or at least something that can emulate one.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the WiiControl doesn't have such a feature.
What I found out is, that the Cyanogen 7 doesn't support Mouseweel-Actions.
I installed the latest 6.1 - et voilla - I get a Cursor and the Mousewheel works.
But unfortunately it doesn't work if I use it in a Flashmovie with the WebKit-Browser.
It seems that the Events are not tunneled into the Flashapp.
Someone got an idea for a workaround?
Ps: I like the idea of playing Quake3 on my Desire - but I prefer Quake1
Is there a way of using the mousewheel in a self-written application!?
That could also solve my problem
I mean, in the Cyanomod I can scroll around through lists an so on. There must be a way! (hopefully)
