I was watching the most recent Macworld video podcasts where they were talking about using a Mac Mini as a home theater. They mentioned an app in the video called Air Mouse Pro (iTunes link).
Air Mouse Pro is an app which essentially turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a trackpad-style mouse for your Mac, or PC. The app uses WiFi to connect to your desktop. I had success connecting to my MacBook both through the existing wireless network, and through an AdHoc network, so even if there is no WiFi where you happened to be, you can still use the app. Air Mouse Pro turns the screen of your device into a full function Multi-Touch trackpad. If you are hooking to a Mac then it assumes the same functionality as your portable would have, or limited multi touch with a desktop machine. After you install the menu bar application on the desktop, which is required to use this app, you can fully control your Mac.

We are happy to announce the IMP iPhone App! …Sorta. We are now accepting people for an open beta so we can iron out bugs before it goes public in the App Store.
How to Apply:
Send an email to beta AT impodcast DOT tv with your device UUID and your name. We’ll email you back with a beta version of the app, and instructions on how to get the application installed on your device.
Due to restrictions, however, we can only accept a few into the beta for now. The first twenty people or so we hear from will be accepted, but no more. There is a possibility that we may accept more in the future, but that is not guaranteed, so don’t hold out for it.
For those that don’t get into the beta, check out these fresh screenshots we have straight from the app.
If you’re in the US, and reading this in time to take advantage of it, let me congratulate you on being very dedicated to your RSS feeds. It is clear that you really deserve what I am about to reveal.
So what am I babbling about? One simple word: 1Password. Here’s another to get you excited: free. Now, here are some about the offer’s limitations: Thanksgiving day only.
You only need two things, besides the 1Password free trial. A Mac, which you almost certainly have, and a friend with a licensed copy of 1Password who has not already given away their free licenses. (more…)
