This would be perfect for browsing the web on a TV-out too...

A bit like the Tablet PC controller app that was released a month or so ago. Is there no way to right click in this first version?

edit: right after I posted I found out how - at least on my iPaq - hit up on the d-pad.

WHOA! 8O
Sweet! This looks amazing! I'm at work now so I can't try it yet...but...whoa!

The ability to do the whiteboard stuff is really cool! 8O

And it's FREE?! :mrgreen:

Can I just say I really like the way this looks as well...clear graphics, and well, a "stylish" look.

Aesthetics is oft-ignored...

Looks very good... next step must be to use it as a presentation "clicker" and have slide notes combined.

There's nothing worse than presenting with a wireless mouse in one hand and PDA with notes in the other - how do you wave? Or hold a laser pointer? :lol:

I like where you are going with this. No need to a keyboard/mouse on a homemade media center, just fire this up and use the on-screen keyboard.

This looks like a very cool app.. The support for WiFi and BT connections is the deal breaker here. I'll definitely take this program for a test drive.

Seems to work pretty good, I can't seem to draw very well though with the whiteboard app. All I need now is a digital projector for my classroom :)

Absolutely...a lot of the web is clicking links and back/forward...this would be perfect...

I have an iPaq 2200 and I can't get this to work. I tap on the house - enter the name of my laptop, it then says controlling 10.0.0.3 and then nothing happens. I have the service running on my laptop. The part I don't know is how should I connect via Bluetooth. I simply connected via Activesync and then ran the program. What else should I be trying.

I'm meaning so you don't have to ever have a keyboard hooked up. That way you can enter URLs, run searches, IM, etc.

I had the same problem (iPAQ h2210), solution was to create a NETWORK, not ActiveSync connection via Bluetooth. Now it works pretty fine for a 0.1beta...
