I think that the Neo1973 is both a phone and a portable handheld

personally been interested in this whole thing for. I'd like to think
of the OpenMoko device as an extension of myself into the world of
electronic devices. My own interface with the world ... until such
time as we can get wetware to do brain-computer interfaces, ;).

Me too. I want to use the moko to control a media center PC that is
connected to my stereo, for queuing up audio files and etc. My PC
uses a video projector for the monitor and turning on the projector is
too much trouble just for queuing up audio. Leaving the projector on
uses up the bulb life too. I wonder if one of the linux based media
center apps like mythTV would work for this? A custom remote control
app for the moko would be best, but a web browser interface would be
fine too.
hmm, bluetooth at both ends. is there a way to send a "custom" protocol
between bluetooth devices without the need for a maintained serial style
connection?
hmm, i wonder if mythtv already have support for bluetooth based remote
control...
err, while it may be bad netiquette to reply to oneself, i found this
over on the mythtv wiki:

i guess one should be able to use the same mythbox part, but write a
different part for the neo...
