    Use a player like The Core Media Player. Left/Right keys to rewind/fast-forward, Up/Down keys to change the volume.

    I'm not 100% sure but if you have a Sony Ericsson phone with bluetooth, you can use it as a remote, provided your laptop's bluetooth is on. I already used it as a presenter and it works perfectly. Never try as a remote though but I'm sure it has the media player function. I'll give it a go after finishing these two pain-in-the-butt assignments :D

    Its a good wireless mouse and you can set the scroll wheel to increase/decrease volume during movies.

    i am not aware of any profile, but try googling for "libertycontrol" (no space) and "sailing clicker". these are 2 bluetooth remote control software that i am aware of for treo.

    not sure if they work with sz, though, or as you intended.
