Use your Nokia 6230i as a Bluetooth mouse!

Pyrofer has managed to hack his Nokia 6230i in order to use it as a Bluetooth mouse for the PC! The so-called 'hack' which uses the Bluetooth and digital camera features of the cellphone in unison enables your phone to be just as good as a mouse. The Bluetooth interface communicates with the PC or notebook whilst the camera is the tracking device. The only issue with the makeshift mouse at the moment is that you have to hold the phone around 6mm above a surface for it to work. Also, because you are using the Nokia 6230i's poor quality digital camera as a mouse, the accuracy is a bit off, but the concept is great.

Everybody carries their cellphones around with them, and surely the ability to use a phone as your mouse would be beneficial to Nokia. If Pyrofer can turn his standard Nokia 6230i into a mouse, surely all the Finish-based company have to do is add a laser on the phone near the camera and write a few lines of code to make this work properly like any other Bluetooth mouse. Roll on the Nokia 6240i with integrated Bluetooth mouse!
