Default Win 1 of 5 Copies of PPC Tablet 3.0 from Amorphous Media Design

Ever wanted to turn your Pocket PC into a virtual input tool to remotely control your desktop or laptop? With PPC Tablet, you can. I've been using it since it was first released back in 2004, and now with v3.0 just out today, I dig it even more. PPC Tablet supports multiple editable profiles allowing you to remotely control media playback, create signatures and sketches, remotely control a PowerPoint presentation, and much more. Oh, and all this over encrypted connections.



Amorphous Media Design has kindly offered five copies of PPC Tablet Remote Control Suite 3.0 to give away, each valued at $14.99 (each copy includes the desktop server, mobile client, and profile designer). To take part in the contest, all you have to do is post a message in this thread discussing how you'd use PPC Tablet. Myself, I use it to control media playback in iTunes and Windows Media Player. I also use it as a remote control when delivering PowerPoint presentations.

Remember, only one post per person. The contest closes on Thursday, January 26, 2006 at 5:00PM [GMT -7]. After that, I'll randomly select five winners from the thread. Good luck to all of you!

Update: The contest has closed. No further entries will be accepted.

I would definitely use it to control my media player. Not to mention, that I would love to see what else I could do with it just for fun!

I wish I was eligible!

For me, I'd use it with my Tablet PC (coinciding nicely with the name of the product). There are times when I'm using my Tablet without the keyboard attached but I'd occasionally like the ability to hit certain keys easily (like DEL when I'm reading email), or Enter or Tab. Having my PPC with this tool running nearby would be pretty slick.

Definately for controlling music on my computer which has my entire library. I also wouldn't mind testing it out with Powerpoint although i generally don't need to use it very often.

I'd use it to control the various media players on my media server. I currently use NetRemote Music and MediaBridge2 by Promixis to control iTunes. It's a nice app, but it's not entirely reliable.

This soft looks very promising! I commonly teach using dynamic presentation prepared in PDF. I would definitely appreciate this tool for the presentations instead of staying sticked to my mouse during the course (especially with the short beamer cable of some teaching rooms where I must stay close to the wall :-) thanks to the smart equipment department of my university!)...

Also, my hand is sometime aching if I use too long the mouse. I ask myself if this tool would not allow me to use my finger or the stylus intead of the mouse... That would relieve my pain.

That would give another advantage to the 4 inch screen of my HX4700 ;-)

So I think it would be quite busy with me :-)

Best regards,

Murat

That's pretty slick! I think I'd primarily use it for the tablet functionality - for drawing and drafting. Many times I've wanted to have a tablet for my PC, since the old ones I do have are too old now to use anymore. I haven't been able to justify purchasing a new one, but this looks like it could do the job fairly well for a lot less cost. Sure my X50v is much smaller than the average tablet, but it beats nothing at all!
