I have been told Intelliphone for the ipod/iphone has saved people from dropping 150$ USD on a Logitech Dinovo keyboard to do the same thing. Rock on!

It also tells me how far I've run in any given day. 2.3 miles today. Granted most of that was on the tube. I have a w580i it plays music and tells me the time.

Its excellent, and all via a bluetooth dongle. You can mouse, tab, esc, volume control etc etc via it. In the past I've had my PC upstairs, with a long HDMI cable running down to my HDTV in the lounge, then using the phone to browse the net/watch films/queue up music etc. It was geek heaven. Also messing with peoples minds while they are using the computer, by randomly alt tabbing for them is funny. For about 5 minutes. This was all possible with the phone out of the box, no extra apps required. Sony Ericsson > IPhone. But yes, there is something about connecting bits of technology that aren't usually connected that gets the nerd in me super excited. I for one welcome Skynet.

GRemote is free, and PPC Tablet costs money but it lets you see your PC screen on the phone while you use it.

ScummVM and Mame I am less sure about, but they seem technically feasible, so they probably exist somewhere for the portable phone/pda hybrid of your choice. @Maximum Fish
