Another nifty iOS app

I love working with a trackpad. For Lion a mouse simply doesn't fit. However, for some apps (Blender, Color,...) you definitely need a three button mouse. The old Apple ball mouse was a bit awkward but useable - nothing in comparison to my beloved trackpad though.

Short story long, there is a solution to the problem: use an iPhone or iPad as a three button mouse! Remote Mouse is a free app that exactly does that. http://www.remotemouse.net/
You install one part of the app on your Mac, the other on the iPad then start up it up on both devices - voila, you have a wireless three button trackpad.

Works also with Windows (couldn't test that). Android version is coming, Daniel.

Hehe... I don't use a trackpad, and I own a 6 button Sidewinder mouse... but this could come in handy in a pinch
Cheers.

Too bad my system is too old. I just use VNC Viewer. I can control everything remotely.

Daniel, and even if your mouse had 50 buttons, it'd be useless with Lion.

Which is fine with me, because I use Windows 7

Avid Studio for $4.99. It is more of a kiddie app like iMovie for the iPad, but it's fun, and you can do a lot of stuff with it. The only thing that iMovie has ahead is that there are no trailers in Avid.
