| Cool things to do with Blutooth and your Mac... I have recently purchased a new Powerbook G4 which comes with Bluetooth. It has come incredibly handy for exchanging small files between my Mac's, between my Mac and PC and between my Mac and mobile. I was just wondering if anyone had discovered any cool features other than file transfer? I have been using Romeo to control iTunes and DVDPlayer via my mobile. That was pretty darned cool! Also been using Address Book to compose and send SMS as well as recieving SMS and call notifications. That's very cool indeed. Please post you discoveries....  |

| I purchased Salling Clicker, because I loved to remotely controle my players and itunes using my cell phone. Romeo was a bit too simple and didn't have as many functions as Clicker. Powerpoint presentations turned to be a great show-off. Love it!  Unfortunately I don't have a built-in bt interface. But anyway, it'S really great. I can even controle my mouse with the cell...

| Romeo's free and you have to love that, but Clicker has one feature which rocks any feature seen on Mac or PC. It discovers your cell. A friend of mine put it like this: "When I leave my house, and thus the Bluetooth range of my Mac, I bring my cell. Once my cell leaves the BT area, my Mac stops my music, turns on the screensaver and demands a password. When I come back, it automatically types in the password, turns off the screensaver and on the music. I had to leave my cell on the road and come back inside just to be sure it worked." |

| You can get little bluetooth gps devices -- and just keep one in your glovebox so when your driving around with your iBook in the car you can pull out your map software and it will tell you where you are and it could give you some directions. Also, the bluetooth mouse and keyboard are awesome!

| Liberate yourself from the hassle of having to be next to the Book to use it! Get a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. And not Apple's: they're nice... nice and expensive.
