Maybe an add on speaker could be used. - Bruno Zamborlin already used the Gesture Follower on the mobile phone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dIDpLPFFU4 29 March, Tuesday - first day of STSM in IDHO lab - 2 classes taking place - started this blog - ordered the 9dof  stick - put together the speaker, amplifier and - 18.30 and the bluetooth finally working! I had to try all possible combination of 3 button sequences and timings in order to recouple the device to my computer. Painfully long process but done.
