Use your iPhone or iPod Touch as a remote control for Front Row, DVD Player, VLC, Keynote, PowerPoint, Boxee, and just about anything else on your computer with Airmote!
• Sit back and watch movies, show photos, listen to podcasts and music. Remotely control your favorite media player applications from anywhere.
• Stand up and give a presentation, or demonstrate your software to your audience from across the auditorium.
• Customize everything. Add remote control layouts. Set up your own buttons. Make it do almost anything a keyboard can, to control a computer wirelessly over WiFi or even via the mobile network!
Several remote control layouts are built-in, optimized for applications like Front Row, DVD Player, Keynote, iTunes, iPhoto, and QuickTime Player and Boxee. Other layouts are optimized to take advantage of Apples Mouse Keys, Full Keyboard Access, and VoiceOver features, for general control of the computer.
Theres no need to run a special program on the Macintosh. AirMote uses standard VNC protocols every recent Mac already understands. Just give permission in the System Preferences and youre ready to go! Free third party software available on other computers may allow them to communicate with AirMote as well.
