Hello everybody!
This is my first BlackBerry project, and I give you the opportunity to try and use it!
My project is an app to control a Powerpoint remotely, for the moment only via Bluetooth, and maybe later via Wi-FI too.
It will work only with Blackberry having a Full-Keyboard (like 8900, 9000, 9700, etc..), and Bluetooth. I haven’t tried it on 4.x firmware, but I think it should work (need confirmation)
RemotePowerpoint is really easy to use. Launch the app on your Blackberry, and on your computer, choose the computer which is running RemotePowerpoint in the device list shown after 10 seconds
and you’re connected.
If you have any problem to find your computer, you’ve to re-launch the app for the moment. I haven’t implemented a way to “refresh” the list again (in my to-do list)
When you’re connected, and after MS Powerpoint is launched, you can press “S”, and your powerpoint will start in fullscreen. Then press “N” or “Space” to move to next slide, and “P” to go previous.
There is a timer on the screen. You can start/stop when pressing “T”. To reset it, press “R”.
It is better to start the bluetooth from the Blackberry, in “Manage connections”, than to start it while RemovePowerpoint is starting.
If you want to download this app from your BB, go to http://blackberry.rocks-it.com, and you’ll find a link named “RemoteBlackberry”.
The desktop application can be download from here
If you try it, give me some feedbacks (good or bad), and I’ll take all what you say into consideration. And if you have ideas to improve this app, say it, and I’ll do all what I can to implement it for the next version.
If you find this app cool and/or useful, or just because you want to motivate me… Buy me some beers!
Summary
You need Java on your computer
The application needed on your computer can be found here
Go to http://blackberry.rocks-it.com with your Blackberry to download this app. !!! UPDATE Link is invalid for now. If you really need this app, please email : admin*AT*scboffspring.eu (replace *AT* by “@”)!!!

Joli boulot ! J’espère bientôt avoir un BB pour tester ça
Merci^^
J’espère pour toi que t’auras un BB :p
Prend plutôt un Android, tu seras pas déçu !!!
J’ai déjà android et pour tout dire je suis déçu..Sur android, t’as ce qu’on te promet et ce que t’as au final..en général, le 2e se trouve bien en dessous du 1er..
Hello je bloque sur “error while connecting Unable to connect” une idée?
une fois le mac détecté via le blackberry 9700, merci par avance
J’ai essayé sur un mac aussi, et effectivement, j’ai remarqué un problème de connexion (le bluetooth se gère pas la même chose), il faut que je regarde de plus près cela quand j’aurai du temps =/ (je te tiendrai au courant par email lorsque cela fonctionnera
)
hey
