BlueMaemo is a neat application for Nokia N800 and N810 owners that allows them to use their Internet Tablet device as a remote control for their PCs.
The application works pretty simple – pair the N800/N810 with your PC via Bluetooth and use the Tablet’s touchscreen as a touchpad. Additionally, if you happen to own the N810, you could type on the device’s slide out keyboard and see the result on your PC’s monitor.
BlueMaemo uses HID Bluetooth profile, hence you’ll need to have a Bluetooth-enabled PC (most new laptops are), which also runs Windows XP SP2/SP3, XP Media Center, Vista or Linux BlueZ.
Want to see BlueMaemo in action? Here’s a 4-minute long video of some real-life action. Enjoy!

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
