[For Windows only] Phone Remote Control is a shareware  application from Blueshareware.com that lets you use your phone as your PC’s interactive remote control. All it needs is a Bluetooth-enabled phone and PC, and you’re ready to go.

Some features that I personally like:

• Control Winamp, iTunes, or Windows Media Player using  your phone (switch tracks, shuffle play, rewind/fast forward, volume control, etc.)
• Control your on-screen mouse cursor using your phone’s control stick (awesome for pranks and presentations)
• Interact with your Powerpoint presentation right with your phone
• Shutdown or reboot Windows, or lock your work station with just a few clicks
• Extra features enhance your workstation security; Phone RC can automatically lockdown or set your PC to screen saver mode when your phone is out of range
• Version 5.1 can actually use WiFi connection instead of Bluetooth (sweet)

However, there are some drawbacks — since it’s a shareware app, you’ll need to get the full version if you don’t want it nagging you after every few clicks, and some actions cause your PC and phone to freeze, especially if you’re on a low-speed Bluetooth connection. But overall, I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars.
