Introduction
BlueInput is the only Bluetooth HID Driver available for the Windows Mobile platform. Using our driver, you can easily connect bluetooth keyboards or mouses to your Pocket PC, and enjoy the comfort of a wireless input device.
You will see that nothing beats the speed and productivity BlueInput provides: you can type emails faster, browse the internet easier, all in one, a unique new experience, that transforms your Mobile Device into the perfect Mobile Office solution.

Compatibility
A) Bluetooth Input Devices Compatibility
The BlueInput Driver was designed to function with any standard HID Device. Since most of the Bluetooth Mouses or Keyboards support the HID Protocol by design, you will be happy to see your Bluetooth device works with BlueInput out of the box.
BlueInput was designed to automatically detect the way your input hardware works: the driver performs mouse and keyboard auto detection based on the Standard Report Descriptor protocol, to ensure flawless functionality.
If your mouse or keyboard is a standard Bluetooth HID compatible device, that exports the "Input Device" service, it will work with BlueInput.
B) Windows Mobile Compatibility
You can install BlueInput on a Windows Mobile Device (Pocket PC or Smartphone), running Windows Mobile 5.0 and above. The Bluetooth Stack installed must be the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack.

Installing BlueInput
To install the software on your mobile device, you need to download the CAB files from BlueInput download page. If the CAB file is compressed with ZIP and the download comes as a ZIP file, you will need to extract the ZIP content to your Desktop, using the trial version of Winzip. Having the software CAB file, follow the next steps:
1.Open ActiveSync on your desktop
2.Click Explore.
