I'm really interested in using my Pre as my PS3 keyboard!!! That will be huge in my world!! That would be like getting visual voicemail on the Pre. I hope you guys can make this work![/quote]

Or get a real keyboard!
Sorry couldn't post a link (due to not enough posts)but if you google ps3 keyboard, I'm sure you will find a keyboard so you can surf the web using PS3.

Why by extra hardware when you can get software to use existing hardware. Also, the Pre keyboard lights up in the dark, while the other don't. I game in the dark and it makes a lot of difference to me.

Does anyone make a usb IR emitter? It'd be great to have a full on virtual remote app for the pre that could replace the Harmony and also use Blutooth for the PS3. I'm tired of my Harmony remotes' keys going bad every 1.5 years - the build quality stinks! I'm interested in the new Acoustic Research remotes- but they too don't have the blutooth remote thing- so this on PRe would be huge!

Anything ever come of this? Is someone working on a homebrew? I'd love the app.

I would love to see something like this myself. With the full qwerty keyboard, touchscreen for playstation "shape" buttons, and gobs of other options with the Pre, it's a win-win. Man I wish I knew linux and programming in general to be able to write something like this for the Pre. This is a guaranteed win in the gaming market! XBox has that stupid PDA-like device that allows you to send chat messages in game, but to have that for the PS3 would make for a helluva easy time for PS3 gamers. No need for a full keyboard, just use your Pre (or other BT phone) to chat with friends while gaming (or not gaming). Anyway, just another poster here thinking this is a great idea and hoping a developer might take a stab at an awesome idea such as this.

Would pay for this functionality, as I won't need to buy PS3 DVD remote controller. Please look into making an app like this!!

sorry but this is not possible afaik due to the pre's current custom bluetooth stack. It only supports a limited number of bt profiles.

if palm was to switch to using bluez, this functionality would be more likely.
