Announce: Maemote — turn your Nokia 770 into a Bluetooth remote
Finally after weeks of veiled allusions today I can announce the "got-to-have-a-release-to-accompany-my-linux.conf.au-proposal" release of Maemote--the Nokia 770 Bluetooth remote application.
Now you can easily control specific functions of your desktop or laptop from your Nokia 770 with Maemote--the Bluetooth remote.
Features
- Use Maemote on your Nokia 770 to control applications on your desktop or laptop (Mac OS X only currently--but the intention is to make it multi-platform).
- Connects using Bluetooth.
- The potential to control your music player, movie player, presentation software, terminal, home automation and more!
- Customisable commands and interface--use the touch screen or hardware buttons to send commands. Create task-specific (e.g. entertain, presentation) interfaces and command sets.

Maemote is currently a "technology preview"--it has many rough or non-existant edges--but I hope you'll find it useful in some form and maybe try hacking on some command actions for it.
Thanks
A big thanks to aCiDBaSe on #maemo for being the first to take the time and be brave enough to test the release. :-)
And, of course, a big thank you to you-know-who for supporting me. :-)
What's in a name?
Oh, and by the way, if you could tell me whether or not Maemote is an hideously offensive word in Tagalog or some other language I'd be interested to know...
