My New Favorite App
I have always been a big fan of Logitech’s products. In fact all of the mice and most of the keyboards I use are Logitech. They recently released a great app for the iPhone called Touch Mouse and I have to say it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite apps. It essentially turns your iPhone into a wireless trackpad and keyboard. The best part is, it’s free!
Below is a little bit more information about it, that I pulled from their blog.
You can point, click, scroll and type from afar, in any application, on a Mac or PC.
It works over Wi-Fi, so you can use it anywhere in your house and is a great way to control your computer when it’s connected to your TV and you’re lounging on the couch. And to make typing easier, text is displayed on the screen of your iPhone or iPod touch as you type, so you can see what you’re doing without having to continually look up and down.
- Multi-touch trackpad with the option for two or three mouse buttons
- Two-finger scrolling
- Keyboard with Control, Alt, Command/Windows keys
- On-screen text display while typing
- Show or hide the keyboard at any time
- Trackpad and keyboard are available in landscape and portrait modes
