[mythtv-users] Apple Bluetooth Remote Instead? Was: Microsoft Remote Keyboard

[Mark Paulus]

Sony Clies?  There's some kind of pretty nifty remote program
available for PalmOS.  Maybe the writers could be convinced to look
into using bluetooth to send out their signals.

>I use a microsoft bluetooth kb and mouse and it works pretty well (my myth box is in the basement). But I keep waiting for a bluetooth remote, or something like that to come 
out. Has anyone seen anything like this? THe only thing I've seen are people using their bluetooth phones for a remote - yuck.
