Was perusing the available Blackberry apps when I saw this one and figured I'd share it. Anyone ever heard of it? It's called "pocket BLU (beta)" Pretty cool what all this emerging technology is offering - particularly when it involves hooking your phone up to applications involving your TV: Seems it's free and does the following: Blu-ray™ just got a whole lot better! Introducing pocket BLU™, the perfect application to compliment your Blu-ray™ movie watching experience.
Works with any pocket BLU™ enabled Blu-ray™ disc (including Bruno, Inglourious Basterds, Funny People, Public Enemies, and more), together with a PS3™ or other Internet-connected Blu-ray™ player.
pocket BLU™ works seamlessly with your network connected Blu-ray™ player over Wi-Fi, and offers the following nifty components: - Remote control - operates all on disc features (Playback, Hierarchical menus, Chat, Registration, and Color Key functionalities). - Timeline - a graphical timeline allowing you to instantly access any point in the movie. - Streaming content - a cross studio content listing of available Blu-ray™ titles with bonus content (trailers, featurettes, deleted scenes, short films, etc) available for streaming.* - Text Entry - a pop up keyboard field that makes all on-disc text entry easy and intuitive.

Hmm, interestnig, even though I have some privacy concerns, I'd have to look and see how it works. Looks one more component into a totally integrated home entertainment experience though!

What are the privacy concerns with something like this? Just curious. The Wifi connection?

Just not sure if I want someone to be able to access things in my home from a mobile device that could be miles away :-/ I guess that's a concern now if you use remote DVR capability on a smartphone or blackberry to your home DVR... Oh, and you must excuse me, I worked in Information Security for years, I'm cautious by nature :)
