A FAQ can be found on the LEGO Mindstorms website about something new called the NXT Mobile Application.  Details are sketchy, but it appears to be a Java app for phones and mobile devices that allows the remote control of the NXT over Bluetooth.  Perhaps something similar to Ap0cN3t’s application.  It may also allow the control of the mobile device from the NXT — taking pictures, for instance.  We shall see.

What are the requirements for my phone to run the NXT Mobile Application?
You need Bluetooth and the option of running Java programs (JSR-82). Make sure that your operator allows third party applications and that your phone’s internet settings allow download of Java. You may have to change your phones settings to permit the use of java applications.

What are the requirements for my NXT to support the NXT Mobile Application?
Your version of the NXT brick needs to be minimum:
FW 1.03
AVR 1.01
BC4 1.01
You can find your version numbers under ‘Settings’ - ‘NXT Version’ on the NXT brick.

A sign of things to come?  Sure!  The end of October already promises a new patch.  Who knows what else is around the corner!?  Stay tuned to nxtasy.org and, most likely, the LEGO NXT’reme section for news on download availability.
