iPhone as a touchpad

This works incredibly well om both my XP pc and my eeePC with Xandros. I use a 32" tv as a monitor and this saved me from buying a media remote that works with both. Heres a quick demo and pics of this working in linux http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=16797

This will work anywhere you can VNC. I've got it working perfectly with Ubuntu.

Who cares... just use a goddamned mouse.

VNSea does the same thing with video. To be honest I think mainly what this guy did was take away the video feature of VNC, if you watch him when he opens the app its the EXACT same interface as VNSea, even the buttons at the bottom are the same. I don't see anything special about this prog, VNSea has been out since 1.0.2.

OLD NEWS! Remote Buddy has done that and much, much more for a couple of months now! And unlike Telekinesis (an abandoned project btw), which never really worked for me, it really gives you FULL control over your Mac!

This is very nice! But I don't have any knowledge on how to set it up. Can anyone describe an brief walk through?

Funny how he keeps pointing the phone at the screen, as if it were an IR remote. :-)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: we can't yet imagine how revolutionary the iPhone/iPod touch will prove to be in the long run. Just wait 18-24 months, when used first-gen devices are being sold for less than $100. (A refurb Touch is already just $249 from Apple.) Music playing aside, it is an awesome web tablet, and between web-interfaces on devices and apps like this, it will truly become the ultimate universal remote.

so its like salling clicker.

Why do you need to install Vine Server on the Mac to run it? Just turn on Apple Remote Desktop in the Sharing Preference panel.

Was just trying this out - works great on Mac, XP & Ubuntu. It's perfect for PowerPoint presentations - no need to buy a remote pointer or anything. Just tap-tap-tap on the screen and zip through your slides.

so what's the difference betn Touchpad and VNsea? not tryin to diss the guy's obv l33t skillz but does it run better faster than VNsea? 'cos VNsea is (was, i upgraded to 1.1.3) one of my fav iPhone apps and it worked pretty well.
