Most phones now have a camera and can run Java, there is no reason that some software couldn’t be written to watch for movement in the camera, and translate that into mouse signals for the PC. Bluetooth could be used to send the data to the PC. So there was the challenge, a java program that took multiple frames from the nokia camera, translated that into direction and speed and sent it to the PC as mouse movements.
The software that is being used is still not available for download!
An elegantly small, intuitive and powerful interface for input and information access with a variety of devices. It solves the keyboard limitations that until now have stood in the way of achieving the objective of information access anytime, anywhere and from any device. It also replaces device interfaces that are awkward, space inefficient, time-consuming to learn and inappropriate for wireless computing because they are based on keyboard layouts that are over 100 years old and technologies that are nearly fifty years old.
FrogPad is a standard USB plug-and-play keyboard and can be used with wearable PC’s, Tablets, DeskTops, Laptops, Linux, and MACs (OS 9) and above. It has a cable connector for both a standard PC and all USB host applications, the USB cable is also used for recharging the battery inside the keyboard so that it can be used wirelessly. The Bluetooth FrogPad can also be connected and used with all Bluetooth-enabled MAC’s and PC’s and there are also beta drivers for use with Mobile phones and PDA’s.

For years, it’s been one of the biggest frustrations that road warriors deal with while carrying around their laptop computers – their mice. The complaints are numerous: computer mice that are at home with a desktop computer feel unwieldy when paired with a laptop; they bulge when crammed into a computer bag, or are misplaced too easily; desktop mice re-developed for laptop use are too small, and feel like they can get lost in a user’s hand. And the trackpoint (that little red button in the middle of the keyboard)? Don’t even get laptop users started about that one.
Finally, there’s a real solution, in the form of a business card sized, Bluetooth-enabled mouse that stores neatly inside – that’s right, inside a laptop computer’s PC slot when it’s not being used. Newton Peripherals, an emerging company delivering user-friendly solutions to mobile computing challenges, today announced the introduction of the MoGo MouseBT.
The second you place a MoGo MouseBT in your hand, you get it; this is what a mobile mouse is supposed to be. It’s light enough that it moves easily, yet it’s big enough that you don’t feel you’re trying to work with a mouse the size of a walnut. MoGo MouseBT redefines what road warriors and other laptop users should expect from a computer mouse. They have been trying to “make do” for years with other products; MoGo MouseBT is an elegant solution that solves their frustrations.
MoGo MouseBT is a technologically advanced wonder, featuring patent-pending optics and a system that automatically levers the mouse up into your hand as you work. With no batteries to replace, the MoGo MouseBT recharges in less than an hour in the PC card slot of your laptop.
Most important, however, is that its unique design gives it advantages over any other mobile mouse on the market today. MoGo MouseBT is ergonomically friendly and intuitive to use, right down to the two indentations on its top that clearly enable left- and right-clicking. A “kickstand” locks into place, automatically levering the full-width MoGo MouseBT into a natural position in the user’s hand, making its operation that much easier.
But words alone don’t adequately convey MoGo MouseBT’s cool factor; seeing it in action gives people the ability to understand how it is designed to change and improve their mobile computing experience.
The price of the MoGo Bluetooth Mouse is currently $59.99.
