Bemused

Bemused is a software that will allow you to control your music collection from your phone, using Bluetooth.

Bemused requires a Series 60 or UIQ phone (e.g. Nokia 7650/3650, or Sony Ericsson P800/P900), and a PC with a Bluetooth adapter.

Bemused can control your PC using Bluetooth, infra-red, USB or GPRS. To use infra-red or USB, you must have PC Suite running on your PC. Also, in this case the connection must be initiated from the PC.

The Bemused server on your PC doesn't require any installation; it consists of a single EXE which can be run from anywhere. It will create an INI file in the same directory that it's run from.

The Bemused application for your phone is a standard SIS file which should be sent to your phone and installed.

Note: Bemused does not support the Sony Ericsson T610, and will not do so in the future. Bemused only runs on phones based on Symbian OS.
