    Its a query...
    Both have bluetooth.
    I'm wondering if there is an app that can control the PS3? I don't want it to be able to play games. I just want it to be able to control the main screen and play movies and such.

    The Bluetooth on the iPhone is locked down to just voice and A2DP I thought.

    You can't just seek out external devices and connect to them. e.g. I have a Polaroid Pogo printer and every other bastard phone can instantly send images to print except my iPhone.

    Unless there are their jailbroken apps that do this I don't know about...

    Not so as I can connect my iPhone 3g to my sat nav via Bluetooth with no problems at all.

    I'd be up for a jail broken app if it exists also. Thanks pogstick; I had seen that link already. I haven't tried it out yet, but don't think it fits the bill.
