You can also control your computer with it. Not only iTune but anything really. You can move the mouse with the joystick of SE phone. Send pictures, theme, ring tones...

If you do presentations you can use your phone as a remote.

Same if you use it to watch DVD's.

Not to mention bluetooth devices such as mouse, keyboards and PDA. I am sure there will be more soon. (There is a bluetooth add-in for iPods that will be available later this year)

Ohh that sounds so awesome i so wish i could do that with my pc i would kill to have that funcionality on my pc with a cell phone :cool: I would love to control mouse pointer,o control winamp, wmp, or iTunes.

and the thing timdorr said about turning off the screen and muting it that would kill too for my pc i could just grab my watch, wallet, and phone head out the door and mute and turn off my screen on my pc.

I so wish i could do that *drool*

would like to hear more if all this is possible with windows as windows doesnt have applescript :rofl:

Anything is possible on windows, it is just a holluvalot easy to do on OS X, that is why we get this stuff so much sooner :p

I'm quite keen to know how to control iTunes from a cellphone, can anyone fill me in please? Thanks :yes:

Depends on if you own the right cell phone. Do you own one now?

Also, does anyone here use the new Apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse? If so, is it possible to wake a machine (specifically a PB) from sleep using them?

I'm pretty sure the latest updates from Apple allow this sort of thing. I know they fixed something relating to boot time keyboard availability and whatnot, so I think it is possible...

The latest firmware update for the BT adapter lets you do this ;)

Yeah, I own a Nokia 6310i. Not sure if it can handle whatever it needs to though :)

And about the keyboards: I'll call into an Apple store and ask I suppose, they're surely a bit pointless if they can't wake a machine from sleep though so I'm guessing it'd be fine.

Float's Mobile Agent has a script to control Winamp. (See the link I posted earlier)

and Christersson PcControl will do some remote stuff too. http://www.christersson.org/software.php

Now you have to get a Sony Ericsson phone :)
