Controlling Linux Using an Android Phone As Mouse, Keyboard, and Gamepad 93
beefsack writes "Miniand have demonstrated how to control Linux using a Samsung Galaxy S2. Using an MK802 with the ARM build of Droidmote server bundled into an MK802 Lubuntu image with uinput enabled, Miniand demonstrates (video) using an Android phone as a keyboard, mouse, and gamepad over Wi-Fi to the device."

with a trip to radio shack a child could whip up a fart chair to signal keyboard input to any OS they choose for under 40 bucks.
I take it you haven't been to Radio Shack lately. The big shelf of resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors and such? Gone, along with any employees that even remember it existed.
I don't think they even have radios anymore. Just overpriced cables and cell phones.

Um, it would work on a desktop with wired ethernet too... It's only the phone which would need to use wifi...
