Air Mouse for the iPhone / iPod Touch

airmouse-icon2Do you have an awesome home theater PC or Mac set up, but need a cool, efficient way to control it? While there are plenty of solutions to this common problem, Air Mouse is by far the best, in my opinion. You’ll soon see why it is even worth its $6 price tag in the iTunes App Store. Not only does this app have the common trackpad and keyboard, but it also has accelerometer support that allows it to be used in either portrait or landscape orientation. On top of that, it also recognizes and indicates the active program or window. For example, if you are using a media player, such as Windows Media Player or iTunes, appropriate function keys appear on the bottom half of the iPhone screen. If you are giving a presentation, Air Mouse can even be used a pointer. I have even found it useful as a trackpad for my PC, where it replaces my mouse.

To use this application, you must first download and install the server program onto your PC or Mac from the website below. This is a small program that runs as a background process and allows the iPhone app to control your machine. Once that is installed, you can then download and install the client application onto your iPhone, just like any other app from the iTunes App Store.

Air Mouse is really a great app that I’m sure you will find very useful.
