Modding Nokia Cameraphone To Be Mouse 89
ozg333 writes "This guy had the very clever idea of modding a Nokia mobile phone to work as a mouse by using the built in camera.
It uses the phone's built-in Bluetooth to link to the PC, so cool! There is also a video of it in action. I can't wait to get one of these, it would mean one less device to carry when I'm travelling."

First time I've seen "dumb" spelled "c-o-o-l".

I did that already (Score:5, Funny)
while getting the creases out of my shirts. The phone mod didn't work
out so good though, someone called me up and I burned half my right ear
off.

Dude! this _is_ cool. I have a tendency to put my phone on the desk right near my mouse. I can't tell you the number of times I've reached over for the mouse without really looking and grabbed the phone by mistake.
Other features:
-No extra mouse when you travel - saves weight
-No extra dongle for your wireless mouse (assuming you have laptop with built-in bluetooth)
-You can take a call and at the same time rub your head against the wall to use the mouse. I'm currently unaware of any mouse that has this as a feature.
-No extra batteries or charger for your seperate mouse.
-People will talk about your mouse on slashdot (no one has so much as mentioned my "Target" brand mouse yet)
-People will gawk at you in the board room.
Now my biggest problem is that I don't have a Nokia!

That's a bug, not a feature.
