There are quite a few tools for Linux for BT stacks like the BlueZ which is nice to use to scan the ether for BT AccessPoints, Phones, PDA's and other stuff. But we don't wanna walk around with the laptop when scanning. We'd rather sit on the bus, plane or taxi when we do our scanning. A PDA is much more convenient because of its size.
Who can recommend some nice tools ?

pocket pc as a bluray remote for ps3
anyone know if this is possable?
or know if its allready been done?
Update thanks to GiZZy

now that would be a killer app!
That's IR, right? Not the system's bluetooth?
http://www.novii.tv/
this works as remote for most my home electronics
it's ir only and ir range of mine and most pda's is very very poor
PS3 uses propriatary bluetooth, no iR. So the only option right now is to buy the PS3 remote, unless someone can open the sony propriatary bluetooth.
PS has no iR, all works based on bluetooth, hence the question
Using a pocket pc as a bluray remote for PS3 over bluetooth would indeed be awesome.

id rather go the other way and use my dualshock 3 as a controller for my PPC emus
Any luck on this? There's gotta be a way to get them to sync up some how and allow control options.
This really will be useful, I mean how many people can controll their PS3 with their cellphones =] ?
I dont know much of how to make such an app but id gladly contribute with graphics and/or testing if someone has a way to do this.
I really don't think this would be possible or there would be bluetooth drivers for getting the SIXAXIS controller to work on the PC... there are drivers but you have to plug it in with the USB cable so obviously no one has found a way to dig into the bluetooth stack on the ps3.
EDIT: I'm sure it's "possible" but improbable based on my above statement
I have the logitech diNova which uses bluetooth to contol your pc and ps3

that's a keyboard right? that brings up an interesting concept! Just have the ppc bind to ps3 as a keyboard and make a little touch app that passes keystrokes?
I think the whole challenge here is to get the bluetooth on the ppc to accept connections as peripheral device services.
Another vote for awesome. I have a Logitech BT keyboard that I use on the PS3 and PC. The keyboard has full control over the PS3 including movie playback.
any news? i would really appreciate a keyboard emulator on pocket pcs using bluetooth. a special playstation 3 hack would be the burner.
I know you can connect your bluetooth headset to the PS3... Should be able to use on chat with friends but I've never tried.... Sony also released a headset for online games that can connect to mobiles so I wonder if anyone has tried connecting their sony remote to pc, would probably need drivers though to use properly if at all...

If you look at their website, it looks like that needs custom hardware that connects to your AV equipment. It doesn't really explain how it controls it.

It's possible and has been done. The SIXAXIS has been in use for a while now. You can even have the rumble/vibrate function (dualshock controllers) work on a PC recently.

Someone please come out with an app for ppcs!! Blackberries are about to have this product already.

Hello, I've been looking for a way to do this for months but haven't had any success, so I decided to finally post my question here.
The PSP has a homebrew app called PSPdisp , that could remote to a PC in real-time, lag free. http://www.jjs.at/software/pspdisp.html
Is there any way to get something like this in android where we can view and control our games from the EVO without lag or stutter? I'm sure we have the speeds to do it Evo's 4G speeds are about 8Mbps on average (in my area), and my home connection is 16Mbps
This would be great for playing emus not available or not capable of running on android.
I don't know how hard this is to accomplish, looks like a very fast vnc server to me.

Not exactly mobile cloud gaming, even though we aren't too far from that either (see Onlive)
Something more like StreamMyGame, I want to have my PC running a emu, lets say dolphin running Legend of Zelda WindWaker, while VNC'ing (if thats a word) to it over the great interntz to the SuperSonic or Xoom. You know it just streaming video to me and me sending it commands with every button press.
Heres a vid on some of its features http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZd3h...layer_embedded
I'd even be willing to commission or "donate" to someone to port the homebrew app to android if its allowed on these forums. The source is available.
Glad you took my advice and posted this in here buddy. I'm bumping this for you since I'm interested as well.

I doubt if lag free mobile streaming will be produced within the near future
Am using Teamviewer for other stuff though and that piece of dontmakemesayit is the most stable one I've found. Lags like hell and sometimes there is like 5-10 second delays before the screen updates, but at least it doesn't crash or lose connection completely
Yes, I have tried just about every Remote Desktoping tool in the market I can think of, but none are fast enough, I think the psp homebrew works because the dev made a video card driver that mirrors/clones the screen to the psp.
...I hope some great dev answers this call...
I'm looking for this too. PSPDisp is really great. I hope something similar like PSPDisp go to our android. Playing PC Games or other consoles emulator(Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube) on android sounds fun
I just wish they made a ps2 emu for android. I just want to run vns on it so I really do not need a lot of power...
This is a question which has sent me into a Google rabbit hole.
So we have a powerful video game console, the ps3;
PS3 connects to select devices via bluetooth, but there doesn't seem to be a working model to connect an Android device to voice chat in game via bluetooth? We can video chat on the correct device, and there are apps such as the BlueputDroid (speaking of, where can I suggest a feature or permission to add a feature myself). Obviously this isn't an easy task. How would one get started? If this seems tacky, consider this; $300 for the PS3, then android devices range in price, but upwards to the $500 mark. I don't know about you, but there has got to be a slip in the programming of software on either the PS3 or Android (or both) for these to be high end devices, but lack of a popular feature among the gaming community. Thanks in advance!
P.S. Yes, I do have access to the Bluetooth SDK.
I've been searching for awhile now, and can't find what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a local multiplayer game that you play on PC and android devices simultaneously. An example would be a card game where each person's hand would be on their phone, and the card table would be on the PC where every body could see. I have my PC connected to my TV, so something like this would be awesome for when we have people over. They could communicate through either WiFi, or Bluetooth. I know there are a few games like this that uses Chromecast, but I have no need for that considering my computer is connected to my TV already. Does anybody know if games like this exist? If not..why not!? Thx in advance for any feedback.
Well man i guess you can use an android emulator on pc such as bluestacks or something...search for it and read about it
Hey guys, I had this idea I wanted to run by the community for feedback before I really started digging into it.
I attend PAX East every year and love being able to do Bring Your Own Computer for the LAN fest area. The big problem is my distance from Boston and the size of my PC Tower. Rather than focus on the biggest and beastest of Rigs, I wanted to try the other side of the formula.
The nSHIELD Portable is a decent little machine and seems to have less hardware issues than its newer nS Tablet does. What I want to eventually do is load Ubuntu onto it which would allow me to load Steam and then hook it up to the LAN network at PAX and play games with the other attendees. I currently have a Portable and am just looking for new ways to get more life out of it.
Does anyone have any experience in loading an OS onto the device or experience even in trying to do what Im describing? Any help is welcome
Thanks~

i don't know specifically, but I know there are some apps that help install Linux into android because android is based on the Linux kernel and can run it, try going on YouTube and searching Linux on android, or android Linux

Couple of problems with this:
To run Ubuntu you'd need a framebuffer driver compatible with Linux. Some people get around this by running a VNC viewer locally and basically loading up an X11 environment in the background. Performance for gaming would never be there.
Steam is X86 only. The Shield Portable is ARM, which I highly doubt will get a port of Steam. Even if it did, there are no games on steam that currently support ARM. And even if you cross compiled....
You'd be unable to run most OpenGL (think Linux's directX) games due to poor feature support. OpenGL ES is a smaller subset of functionality from the full OpenGL (which games like Half Life and Counter Strike run on) and OpenGL ES is what the Shield supports. To ad insult to injury, the Shield Portable only supports OpenGL ES 2.0 not the newer 3.0, meaning even less flexibility and programmability (less possibility for titles to be ported).
Sorry to burst your bubble. With GameStream though, you could game stream over the internet assuming there was enough download bandwidth where you were. You'd be better off looking at a Haswell based ultrabook if you want thin and light basic gaming.
you can not run PC games natively on a Shield, no matter what operating system it has.
with emulators such as dosbox turbo you can emulate older PCs, not faster than a Pentium 1, so you can only run DOS games and if you have a lot of time on your hand install Windows 95/98 to play games such as Half Life 1.
So for PC games you're better off with a Windows tablet.
Intel Atom Baytrail based tablets are fast enough to play games such as Portal 2.
