do not download unless you have a 32 bit os! I found out that this program will not work on the 64 bit version of Vista.

does this work with xp and a curve 8900?

 
 
Posted by chopsticks Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1069 days ago

it should work as on the website it says that XP SP2 and above is allowed.

Ok so my blackberry can be a remote for my home A/V, a keyboard for my Playstation, and now a mouse for my computer. If you teach it to make toast...

Can I use this with my Storm?

 
 
Posted by zegolf Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1069 days ago

Doesn't appear to be supported at this time. Their website doesn't list it as one of the supported devices, but notes that they're developing for more devices.

This is great. I'm glad to see more uses for bluetooth. I believe the potential is endless.

got this up and running and it is pretty sweet. i can feel the laziness creeping in.

it works with xp and 8900

That would be amazing if this thing would work with the storm... I'd be all over it!

It does work with the Storm, although not very well. It only works in portrait keyboard mode, and it has a small touch bad above the keyboard that operates similar to the way a laptop touch pad works. The mouse movement is slow and takes multiple swipes across the touch pad to move mouse across the screens ( or multiple screens as I have set up on my desk). Has great potential for Storm!!!

No love for Mac users! :-(

it only seems to support vertical and horizontal on the storm too. Very easy to setup and seamless connection though... nice little tool. definitely has potential, very fast response time with the keyboard, btw just typed this using the app on my storm.

Very cool...just spent about an hour playing around with it on my curve...haven't tried it on the storm yet

This is cool! My old Moto could do this...always thought it was a nice feature.
Hopefully I can now connect to my pc via bluetooth, since I haven't been able because of a driver Vista couldn't find =/

Will def. give it a try... plus its nice to see developers put out resonable prices on software, instead of charging an arm and a leg :)

totally sweet. me and friend were discussing how is jailbroken iphone could be used as a mouse haha.

 
 
Posted by ThatOneGuy333 Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1069 days ago

Not only did it not work for me, but it also broke the pairing that I already had between my phone and computer. Now I can't sync over bluetooth.

Ive been using this app for awhile now and was wondering why it wasnt getting more attention. Its fan-fricken-tastic! My day begins and end with this thing. I am both a crackberry and a computer geek So they both remain on at all times. In the morning the first thing i grab is my blackberry. I role over grab my bold out of its charging pod. Verify bluctrl is still running(usually doesnt disconnect for funsies)Then hit play. play.
My computer then begins playing music and i proceed to check my msgs. At night, its my remote for watching movies. Durin g regular hours, I sit infornt of my pc and i find myself using my bold keyboards for typing so i dont have to keep switching between keyboards. it just works! I really like this app and its FREEE!!!!!!!!!!! i showed it to a guy at work and within a half hour the entire floor was installing it. Great app!! It deserves the attention!

I couldn't get it to work with iTunes. Do you have to do a setup of some sort? What music player are you using.

Very cool. But the mouse moves very slowly. Slowly enough to be annoying. Anyone know how to speed up the mouse. Maybe you have to increase the sensitivity on the BB, but then it would be to fast for using my BB. Very cool though. Has a lot of potential.

Click on the bluCTRL icon on your PC > mouse sensitivity.
I use it at 100

+5 points for using the word "hella"

Awesome application, more reason for me not to touch my desktops/laptop since getting the BB.

Storm and 64 bit vista here...I love that I have to downgrade my OS and my phone to use this app.

I just got a JABRA 320s from Staples. $10!!!!

This app rocks. Plain and simple. Rocks.

ok so im a total idiot here. i installed both and cant figure out what to do next. i dont even know if my notebooks is bluetooth compatible. its a 2004 gateway with service pack two running. how do i pair?

 
 
Posted by srd05c Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1069 days ago

just installed this app, and it works great! i really like the media controls built in

 
 
Posted by fstbusa Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1069 days ago

you have to have a bluetooth receiver or have a usb dongle to use this app. If you have one of these just go to add devices from the system tray and make sure you phone is discoverable and it will pair with it. Works on my storm. My wife thought it was very nerdy. Cant wait for x64 support as well as storm support.

 
 
Posted by Marvelous7325 Tuesday, Mar 10, 2009 1068 days ago

Stupid but curious, could we find a way to make this work with the ps3 or an xbox 360?

 
 
Posted by marcotor Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1068 days ago

Great idea, but a bummer this does not run in 64-bit Vista or 7.

 
 
Posted by cuda010 Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1068 days ago

So when i received the download link in my bb email, i click on it and their download site says "this link is intended to be accessed by blackberry devices only." I'm using a storm... what gives?

 
 
Posted by 1handyman1 Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1068 days ago

Make sure you're using BlackBerry standard browser and not Opera

 
 
Posted by pb730c3 Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1068 days ago

This is a pretty cool program and very handy in fact i am using it to type this. I can definitely see the usefulness with a HTPC. Basically this program is awesome.
