Hey, Everyone,
I would like to take on a lil' pet project (but, 'could be a group effort). What I'd like to do is use my Windows Mobile-based devices' hardware keyboard as a USB and/or bluetooth keyboard on Windows XP/Vista and *nix machines. Any ideas on where to start, or H3LL!, does anyone know of a prog already? Y'figure you can use your device as a webcam, modem, WiFi router, and flash drive, so why not use the keyboard?

BTW, 'would also like to use the mic on the desktop (using Sprint Mogul by HTC (Titan), specifically).

Thanks, Everyone.

I have made myself such a program(using keyboard, controlling winamp, using touchscreen like a touchpad from a notebook ,wake on lan). It's for win and works very well with wifi, but it is far away from 'releaseable' (Bad Gui, many missing parts) . (I'll post it ofc when it's finished).
I can just give you some tips: I have used Winsock + the Udp protocol, the udp server runs on desktop, the client on your ppc.
The rest is easy: Send a packet with the Pressed key code to your desktop, and then the server should simulate a keypress (e.g. on winapi with keybd_event )
