Mobile Phones as input devices

As we rely more and more on our cell phones it is not surprising that they are being used for more then just making phone calls and texting. RemoteDroid allows you to use your G1 as input device for your computer. (A G1 is a Smart phone that operates on Google software known as Android. Currently, this Smart phone is only available through T-Mobile.)

I see this as one step closer to a creating one device that has many uses. Can you imagine your ‘cell phone’ being able to change the channel on your TV or unlock your car doors. I am sure someone has and is working on it now. Of course there must be a balance between functionality and security for any device to become widely accepted.
