Saw this on the Gadget Show yesterday and thought I'd give it a try.
What can I say - it's fantastic and works a treat. :D

Do you connect your Laptop computer to your tv so you can watch video's etc on the bigger screen? Have you got an iPhone or iPod Touch and a home Wi-Fi network? Do you want to use your iPhone or iPod Touch to control your Laptop from the comfort of the sofa?

If the answer is yes the have a look at:

Awesome little trick what you can do with them , ive also seen that the android phones can do the same kinda thing where you can us the touch screen as a mouse pointer :D

I've also heard there's an app where you can speak to another person via their mobile or house phone. You just dial their number and , hey presto! You can speak to them.

What an age we live in!

I just use RemotePad, been using it for months... http://www.tenjin.org/RemotePad/

My laptop is on my lap- why would I want a remote for it?
