How to use your mobile phone as a remote computer controller

This work great with a lot of mobile phones... You just need to have some kind of connection like bluetooth, infrared or even wireless on both devices! I have tried with my Nokia N70 using bluetooth and it's really amazing ;)

It's useful if you have a notebook without the original remote controller and you don't want to spend like 25$ for third party one...! So why don't save money and be cool?! =D

To control your computer (desktop or laptop, Windows or Mac) with your mobile phone you just have to download this little utility: Salling Clicker. It is not a free software, you can try the Demo version or look at a my old post "YouSerials and YouTorrent".

First of all you will have to install the software on your PC and then, after selecting the right cell's brand and model, it will generate the setup for the client to put inside your mobile phone! That's all!

Now you can use the client software on your phone to use Windows Media Player, PowerPoint, iTunes... And you can extend those fuctionalities by downloading more scripts from this website: Salling Cliker Scripts.

To install a script you need to put every directory inside the downloaded zip file inside the folder ".../Salling Clicker/Default Scripts/" now you must restart the application and then go to "Open Salling Clicker": just drag and drop scripts from the right column to the left one and you are done!

Personally, since I use Winamp, I have just installed the proper script and it works really good!

Bluetooth connection rocks over the infrared one... You can control your computer being in the kitchen while cooking or while having a shower! (...but don't try it xD)

For any questions just leave a comment and I will try to help you out...
