Re: Re: Sony Bluetooth Remote Control

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
Bluetooth is much more complex than IR. While IR remotes send simple 
patterns, a Bluetooth device is - remotely - comparable with the 
complexity of a USB device with vendor, product ID and serial, 
different communication channels, options and techniques, connection 
negotiation, service discovery and offering, etc.

With the current Bluetooth stack of OS X I don't see a way for a Mac 
to mimic a Sony BD Remote so that it could be detected as such by a PS 
3. It sure should be possible to advertise such a service, but the 
machine itself would still introduce itself as a Mac and not as a 
remote control.

Best regards, 
Felix
