iPhone: Mobile Air Mouse - On Sale

**UPDATE** - Forget about the Air Mouse, Logitech release a killer app that includes mouse functionality as well as a keyboard, and it's FREE! Grab it here.

iPhone : Mobile Air Mouse: **Currently (as of 9:20am EDT 8/7/09) on sale for $2.99**
"Instantly transform your iPhone or iPod touch into an air mouse, trackpad, and wireless remote for your computer! Sit back and surf the web, browse your photo library or control your music player from the comfort of your couch. Our air mouse uses the built in accelerometer to translate your hand motions into mouse movements on your screen. It can also operate as a trackpad, allowing you to control your computer with a single finger. Suddenly your iPhone has become an essential part of any home theater PC and a presenter's best friend. Using an innovative application notification system, the iPhone will always know what applications are running at any time and show the appropriate keys for that program, providing you with a single screen for controlling ALL your media and web applications.

Features:
- Accelerometer based mouse
- Trackpad (full screen vertical and landscape modes)
- Media keys & Web keys
- Application notifications - Remote keyboard with modifier, function and arrow keys
- Programable hotkeys (can be set to run a program or keyboard combination)
- Scroll pad
- Multitouch gestures (scroll & right click)
- Password protection
- Custom sensitivity settings
- Foreign language keyboards
- Supports Bonjour or static IP
- No screen size limitation. Works with multiple monitors.
- And much, much more. View our demo video to see all that Mobile Air Mouse can do for you"

You have to check out the demo video to see some of the features of this app. I do a lot of presentations for my job, so being able to have a remote built into my iPhone to control PowerPoint is great... BUT, to even be able to control the rest of my computer as well is AWESOME! You see, I run VMware Workstation with a full blown network of our software solution, and I always have to be sitting at the PC to man that instead of possibly standing off to the side running it and speaking *to* the audience.

I only just purchased this app and haven't had a chance to use it yet, so a review will be coming. But I figured I'd throw this out there while the sale is on so you too can get in cheap. ;-)
