Ever Tried Using the Mobile Phone as a PC Mouse?

Here is one more idea for all those that have gotten tired of using their mobile phone just for communication and who would like to stand out.

All you have to do is download Psiloc Mobile Mouse. This is an application that requires no additional software or even hardware modifications in the mobile phone. Still, this doesn't mean that all cellulars are capable of supporting this program. In order to turn them into a PC mouse, the phone must have Windows XP and Service Pack installed.

The shape of a mobile phone is often similar to
that of a mouse, so there shouldn't be much discomfort involved. The only practical aspect about this new concept is that when the mouse might unexpectedly break down, there will always be a solution available right in your pocket.

Of course, you might want to download this program with some time ahead, as there are several settings that need to be made. Such a task might prove to be tedious, if not even impossible without a fully-working mouse.

The concept is based on the phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Windows configures the mobile phone in order to efficiently use it instead of a mouse. The two buttons that are normally available on a mouse, as well as the movement made on the screen are replaced through the keypad. The navigation keys make it possible to move the cursor on the PC's screen and the soft keys play the part of a left/right mouse button. The "C" button can be used in order to quickly exit an application.

Now you will be able to have a Nokia-branded mouse or even a Blackberry one. That is pretty special and it will sure break the monotony of the computer's configuration. Psiloc Mobile Mouse is available for performing on Symbian S60, v1.1, Symbian S80, v1.0 and Symbian UIQ, v1.0 for the maximum price of USD 20.22.
