While requests are being made, it would be quite useful here to have  
the phone emulate the PS3 remote control.

I haven't looked closely at how the PS3 remote works. Whether it  
pretends to be a keyboard or uses some other bluetooth profile (??).  
The former case would be ideal as I guess it would need only an app  
showing fast-forward, rewind, play buttons that would sit above your  
keyboard emulator and pass their presses to it. I guess that'd be  
outside the scope of your project - not really innovative enough -  
and so maybe someone in the community would be interested in this.  
But if a whole different profile is needed then I would love it if  
you could take a quick look.
