How to Control Your Mac With a Nokia Bluetooth
Using a Nokia bluetooth-enabled phone is a convenient way to control your Mac remotely. You can activate iTunes from a distance, choosing playlists and specific songs as you like. Watching movies while using your Nokia bluetooth cell phone as a remote is another good way to control your Mac away from the keyboard. You can do all of this easily by using the application Salling Clicker and its varied Applescripts to control your favorite programs.
