Default Pre As A Sony PS3 Remote Control Device

Or any Bluray remote control device for that matter.

Is there any interest? Naysayers?

Being able to control my PS3 with my Pre would be AWESOME! I'm interested.

Great. Just hoping a few more developers would chime in. I can do development work, but Bluetooth programming is an entirely new area. There are several bdremote daemons for Linux out there. Hopefully they'll have enough information to let us know how to connect and emulate a BD remote.

I would love to control my PS3 via my Pre. Doesn't the iPhone have an App (perhaps homebrew) with the capability?

Kindly specify, as well, if you have any development or design skills that might be useful with this endeavor.

Very interested!!!! I use an infrared remote with an IR adapter, and it doesn't turn the ps3 on/off....This app would save me $60 because I won't have to buy the Logitech Harmony adapter.

This is something my WM6 device could do and it was awesome. (basically made my touch pro a remote keyboard for my ps3..)
Would love that with this.. It's not possible via the sdk, but homebrew, maybe.

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!

I think that would be a cool idea. If it could be done for PS3 then what about for the Wii as well? Imagine the possibilities...

I'm thinking of working with the Mojo SDK as much as possible, though I doubt the bluray functionality we'd need would be currently exported. So I'll have to look at various communications mechanisms between Mojo apps and the underlying bluetooth subsystem.

I'm VERY Interested in this! I can't stand having to take my controler off the charging stand just to watch a movie.

Please someone make this happen, I'd gladly pay for an app like this and I know my Best firend who also has a Pre would do the same.

Please post (or pm a link to this app as i still have my TP) where this app can be found so the devs here have something to work with. This may help them in figuring some of the commands and such ( i hope)
