bluCTRL, is an application that turns your BlackBerry into a full wireless Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. With bluCTRL, you can now conduct powerpoint presentations, surf the web, and control your media center from your BlackBerry. This "in your pocket" convenience works with any Bluetooth enabled laptop or PC, giving you the ability to control multiple machines from a single device.
Kind of lame that it's PC-only... I don't think this was supported on the Storm before. Anyone know if it is now? Or, I could go to the link and look.
EDIT: 1. Which smart phones are supported?
bluCTRL is currently available for BlackBerry Curve (83xx series), Pearl (81xx,82xx series) and 88xx series. Additional BlackBerry models and other mobile devices support is on the way.
I'd love to see a Storm version that allows the Storm to act either as a touchpad by moving your finger along the screen or like the Logitech MX Air using the accelerometers - THAT would be cool!
I just tested with my Storm. The mouse work is a little choppy, but very cool app. I would expect it to work smoother when released officially for the Storm.
i've tried installing it over and over and i just cant get the receiver part to work. soon as its done installing on my laptop, i click on the icon to get it going and it just wont start. it tells me,::: BluCTRL Receiver has stopped working, A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
im using my tour to type this from my phone to my windows 7 laptop. you can select with alt button and scroll with shift button. its amazing. make sure to donate
the error that i keep getting is after the installment. after i install the first part of the receiver where it adds a icon on the desktop... it just wont start. soon as i click on it to start it up i get a windows popup messages saying "BluCTRL Receiver has stopped working, A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". ..... im thinking that the problem is that windows vista doesnt support it. i see it works fine for the windows 7 right? lol i was going to download it but i guess now im just goint to wait for the release date on Oct 22nd.
will i got it working on my laptop with vista took a while.. but i got it it works very fine.. the mouse did not work cause i disable the comp on the bb.. **** everything else works fine..
