Salling Shareware has released a public preview version of their Sony Ericsson Clicker software, which enables certain Bluetooth-equipped cell phones to communicate with Bluetooth-equipped Macs, and control them.

With Sony Ericsson Clicker, you can use your cell phone to control PowerPoint or Keynote presentations, control DVD Player or iTunes, or use AppleScript to control other applications. What’s more, a “proximity sensor” can automatically trigger actions when you leave or come back to your Mac.
Developer Jonas Salling cautioned MacCentral that this release is a preview version, and that there are known bugs — accordingly, there’s scant info available on the Web site, and this release will expire on March 1, 2003 (Salling expects to release a new version by then).
The software works with Mac OS X 10.2.4 or higher, and supports Sony Ericsson T39m, R520m and T68 or T68i telephones. You’ll either need a Mac with a Bluetooth USB adapter or a Bluetooth-equipped Mac as well. Visit VersionTracker.com for download links.
