Marc Forrest lead me on to this awesome little iPhone App called Air Mouse Pro. In a nutshell, it enabled you to control your PC or Mac’s mouse via your iPhone, using the iPhone as a touchpad, or the iPhone’s accelerometer to move the mouse cursor around. It also includes control of the keyboard and all the function keys.
To get it working, download the iPhone app from the App Store. Then download the free server software to install on your desktop PC or Mac. Using your WiFi connection, Air Mouse Pro searches for available servers and connects, giving you complete control of your desktop. Fantastic app for presentations. Also gives a nice WOW factor when setting up your preso.
Get it from the App Store.
