something that can control powerpoint!

Hey there smartmadsoft. I agree with tzuyang - if I could control powerpoint presentations forward and reverse wirelessly from my watch that would be awesome. No need to remember bringing the airmouse to presentations, as the watch is always with me.

Other than that, any features available in Windows Mobile would be good to have through the computer. And atomic clock sync so that the digital part of the watch always shows the correct time. Stop watch. Countdown etc etc.

First very very early and poor version is available.

Nice, will try it soon ;)

You rox moneytoo

Sweet, I've been waiting for an app like this. Thanks! ;)

I just tried it with an MBW-100 and I really like the ability to control the multimedia keys. I can change track and pause/play on Spotify.

As of now the text test won't work, will this be implemented eventually or is the mbw-100 just too old and complicated to implement features like text? I suppose the mbw-100 will not be officially supported, but anyhow I'm really really happy with the ability to control spotify! :D

Have you considered Windows Sideshow support? You could add a lot of the requested features by adding that one.

The Windows Sideshow seems interesting. Will have to read more about this one.

I got the following error message from the beta:

No supported Bluetooth protocol stack found.

I've got a Lenovo laptop with a Broadcom BT stack. Do I need a MS stack instead?

Thanks!

MS stack works better because the Widcomm/Broadsomm support is still not final/stable. However it worked for me when I was testing it on EEE with Widcomm stack.

Please try this version with updated bt drivers to see if there is any difference.

Hi,

Thanks.

Tried this version as well. Got a longer error message "Assertion failed" "MS BT stack not supported" and "Unsafe Native Methods."

Hi there,

superb app! My compliments! However, I'm using the Prada Link (LDA T950) and windows 7 (RTM) using a standard MS bluetooth driver. The appilcation (v.0.1.0.2) is running, but cannot connect with the watch. I can see the watch in the bluetooth devices-list sometimes. When I pair the devices nothing happens. What I'm I doing wrong?

maartuhh
It's only for Sony Ericsson MBW-100/150/200.

Aaight. Thanks for your reaction. I hope the Prada Link will be supported soon. I'm trying to connect my Prada Link (LDA T950) using a Windows SDK (Windows Mobile emulator for Windows PC) and SmartWatchM as well. Unfortunately the emulator don't recognize the bluetooth dongle, so I'm not able to connect the emulator with my watch. Maybe someone can help me with that?

maartuhh
The official emulator doesn't support Bluetooth.
