Product Description:

This freeware application allows you remote control of your mac via Bluetooth and a compatible mobile device (Ericsson t39m, t68, t610, t616 and Palm and Nokia 3650/7650 via Veta Universal), controlling programs such as iTunes and DVD Player, as well as presentation applications. As well as being able to create your own menus you can use the phone as a mouse for control of anything and everything.

Create and share your own menus and actions - both for proximity and when the phone rings - using Applescript, key and mouse emulation. Happily works alongside other bluetooth apps such as Address Book or iSync!

What's new in this version:

Interface localized into French and German.
Graphical bezel-style Caller ID, using the Address Book framework for IDing people.
Improved dock and menubar menus, including a status item.
Fixed dock icon hiding in 10.3 and higher.
Now checks whether devices are paired and points the user to the Bluetooth Setup Assistant as appropriate.
Added some basic AppleScript commands including connect, disconnect and status.
Added user feedback display, fully controllable via AppleScript ("display text ...")
Fixed zooming in Panther.
Fixed AppleScript launching Classic applications in the supplied menus (thanks to Leor Bleier)
New "About" window including links to the website.
Interface tweaks including GUI layout, Open and Save dialogs remembering last directory, and improved error dialogs.
Improved handling of drag-and-drop.
Fixed Screensaver interaction methods to no longer conflict with Panther's screensaver security features
Improved phone name fetching and storage.
Improved handling of phone calls and SMSes whilst in a dialog.
Improved processor use dramatically when bluetooth hardware is not present or disabled.
Added key emulation for numpad keys.
Updated default menus and actions. Due to changes and fixes, all users will be prompted for an upgrade.
General bugfixes and improvements to make Romeo a better OS X citizen.
Extensive code rewrites; if you've downloaded the code before and blanched, it's still bad, but it's much bett

Compatability - Version: 0.9.3, 10/29/2006 03:13PM PST

I was told by a friend to download Romeo because I was looking for a solution to presenting keynotes without having to buy a pricey remote.

However, when I tried it, I connected fine, however it does not seem to like my Sony Ericsson W810i.

Romeo prompts me to go to 'Accessories' in the phone menu, however the only place I know of that allows me to use Bluetooth to control other devices is in Entertainment > Remote Control.

If anyone can shed any light on this problem it would be great.

My email is Mark@Houseofed.com

Doesn't get a bluetooth connection on my Intel-iMac - Version: 0.9.3, 5/11/2006 01:37AM PST

I tried this non-universal-binary on my Intel-iMac and OS X 10.4.6. Usually bluetooth connections are working great together with my Sony Ericsson phones (T630 and W810i), but NOT with Romeo. It only says, "no phone found".
