Does anyone know if it is possible to control some programs like multimedia player with the help of ur PPC.
i would use wireless network to connect to my PC and i want to be able to mostly play/pause, adjust volume on my movies with help of my PPC.

I don’t know of any multimedia specific applications!

However, you could try PocketPC VNCViewer to control your PC!!

You’ll need this one on your PC:

Smashcasi RemoteAmp is a killer app for doing just that with Winamp and iTunes.

I just went and downloaded the trial. This program works like a charm, I totally love it. Will reccomend to anyone alive that has Itunes.

Looks like its for Windows only. For any Mac users interested, try salling clicker.

Just to be sure before buying. Does it exist any free app to remote control your PC? or all of them are payware?

VNC is free.

IF you just want to control iTunes then Slim Server (free from http://www.slimdevices.com) is a great iTunes streaming app that will allow you to control it from your PPC via a web page interface, Very slick.

Sorry, redacted a bad question, I was asking for a free remote multimedia controler (wmediaplayer,winamp or any other like).
Thanks for the answer howard but I only have bluetooth on my desktop.

VNC will do the trick. It'll be dog slow over BT I imagine, but give it a shot and see.

I'll be checking it during the week to see how it works.

I haven't tried it, but I'd imagine RemoteAmp could control the movie-playing aspect of Winamp without issue.

[EDIT]

Yep...works like a charm =)
