Those gifted gents over at the BTStack might just be too clever for their own good. First they blow our minds by sneaking Wiimote support onto the iPhone, and then tickle our productivity-loving souls by hacking in Bluetooth keyboard support. It’s a bit awkward to be typing away on a physical keyboard, only to have to reach over and poke the screen whenever you want to do something – wouldn’t it be nice to be able to use a mouse instead?
Yes, yes it would. And the BTStack guys agree.
It’s still a private project, so it’s not quite ready for the likes of you and I quite yet – but if this video is any indication, it’s working like a dream. And hey, don’t bother me with that “At this point, you might as well be carrying a netbook!” nonsense. This is magic, folks. Magic.
Wow, this is amazing!
Very nice, I can’t wait to get my hands on this.
That is just wayy too cool!

If you’re like me and wondering what that task switcher was, it’s ProSwitcher for jailbroken devices:

This is pretty amazing stuff. Android and iPhone really need to pick up the wireless input device ball and run with it. There are times where you could do a lot more real work on your iPhone with some enhanced input devices.
makes me really really want to jailbreak my phone… damnit!
You should jailbreak your phone. It’s fast, easy, and makes your device do magical things. There’s really no reason not to if you have an iphone.
Apple should have supported this from the beginning.
now all we need is a screen projector or screen-in-eyeglasses so we can view a larger screen, then i can just remote in via mini-web browser and do my work.
found some iPod Video Goggles at thinkgeek website…
To be honest, I thought that the connected keyboard was cooler than the connected mouse, still very cool though.
This is so cool! It blew my mind! Jailbreak my iPhone? hmm.. tempting if it can do this!
There’s a TED talk that could work in nicely with this idea. The guys at MIT are working on something like this but without the iPhone. It’s only a matter of time before the two get together.

Previous a hack made it possible to use MagicMouse in PC and now in iPhone, no wonder, people get ready to use it in Twiiter Peek.!!
This is impressive but for a more mind blowing definition of the near future of the interface see this Pranav Mistry TED video. I see Domique posted the presentation above but here is Pranav presenting himself, seriously worth the watch.

It’s great to see him present his own thought process. This is one genius inventor who is set to change the world, and through open source to give us all a chance to do the same:
Does anyone know whats the keyboard device they’re using?
Okay, its cellulon.
