Symbian potential

There are some real cool programmes for Symbian. Psiloc and Ajile come up with the best. there is a lie detector, which does not work much but says you are lying everytime you speak loudly. Then there is IRremote, a versatile remote that uses the infrared in your phone to convert it into a remote for anything. There is a mosquito repelling software that emits low frequency sounds that drive away mosquitos. there is a bluetooth mouse that lets you control the cursor on your comp using a bluetooth connection. There is also bemused, a bluetooth remote for winamp, so you can shut down winamp when you are going to sleep. Pretty cool. i used to think that you can acess the net via GPRS and bluetooth, but there is a seperate service called orange acess for this. Never knw about that.
Although, there is potential for more. I thought they can use the infrared thingy to open car doors in the vicinity. In other countries, even garage doors. This may seem pretty insecure, but they can devise a security system that allows only your mobile to say open your house, in addition to the keys.
