Use bluetooth mobile as a mouse substitute

I just had a pretty cool idea for a Java application on a bluetooth
mobile handset, see what you think (and whether somebody has already
developed something like it):

Take a bluetooth-enabled laptop, which you are using to deliver a
powerpoint presentation, and a bluetooth-enabled mobile with Java.
What if you could use your mobile as a substitute for the laptop
mouse, just basic functions like PgUp and PgDn, so you can "click"
your own presentation?

Is it possible at all? I believe no mobiles would come with built-in
HID bluetooth profile, can we do it using Java?

If anybody has any ideas, just let us know!

The Sony Ericsson K700i comes with HID profile, and built-in applications
for mouse control, power point control and Windows media Player (or winamp)
control (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=3366 for a review
and a couple of pictures of these apps)

The application you're suggesting would not need HID if a server is
available on the PC - like Sailing Clicker.

This already exists and it is/was free. I was a product called "pc control"
I think...by someone named Christianson. I URL was christianson.org but
that doesn't come up for me anymore. I maybe misspelling it though. It
worked with my Ericsson T68 and Belkin bluetooth dongle.

There is also Salling Clicker for the Mac. I think it is also available
for the PC. You can find it on Version Tracker.

Guys,
Thanks for the response. I installed PC Control, but then I realized
it only works with Sony Ericsson phones, which come with a basic
communications program installed.
Do you know of any place I could find/develop a Java version of this
communications program found on Ericsson`s phones?

Thanks,
Andre Teixeira
