Air Mouse: Use your iPhone as a Wireless Mouse

Your iPhone can do a lot of things when it comes to productivity, but one thing it is in lack of is being a Wireless Mouse. Well say no more, because Air Mouse is your solution. Air Mouse is an iPhone App that turns your iPhone into a wireless mouse/track pad and it also features many other extras such as a keyboard. It really is amazing how accurate its sensitivity is. So if you don’t want to go waist money on a wireless mouse and you are in reach of an iPhone or iPod Touch, you might want to consider Air Mouse.

So in the latest version of Air Mouse they have really bumped up the amount of features you can now do with it. Its not only a wireless mouse but also a keyboard, media controller (Apple Remote Style) and also it has browser navigation controls. Air Mouse really does make your iPhone twice as useful.

Here is an example of a situation that happened to me the other day. I was doing a lot of work and trying to get things done fast but then my wireless mouse battery dies on me. So I was going to have to wait a minimum of six or seven minutes to get the mouse back in operation again. But then I realized why don’t I just use Air Mouse? My iPhone was right next to me and the application on my Mac was there. So I started using it, it was not till twenty minutes after I swapped back to my wireless mouse. It really was amazing how accurate and precise the application is.

When you open up Air Mouse you will be greeted by this iPhone Screen shot on the left. This is the main part of Air Mouse. As you can see the black patch on the top is a track pad on which you use your finger. Then you also have a scroller inserted in the middle. On the left and right of the scroller are your left and right clicks. And below that you have other controls to get to other parts of Air Mouse. But at the bottom half of course you have the keyboard which really comes in handy.

Of course Air Mouse also has other features, such as the Apple Remote Buttons. There is no need to ever use an Apple Remote again when it comes to using Air Mouse. On the right, in the iPhone Screen shot will show you what it looks like once in the Apple Remote Area. As you can see it has the Menu, Left, Right, Play, Volume Up and Volume Down buttons which is all the Apple Remote has to offer. It really is a replica of it. But yet again now Apple is charging for Apple Remotes so if you have an iPhone just use Air Mouse.

So when it comes to setting up Air Mouse with your PC or Mac, it couldn’t be easier. First of all your going to have to purchase the application in the iTunes App Store. Then you will have to download the Mac or PC application on the Developers of Air Mouse’s website. Once you have the two make sure they are both on the same network. The connection will happen automatically if they are both open.

This application currently retails at €4.99 and it is worth the money, it really is one of the mose useful applications that the iTunes App Store has to offer. You can download Air Mouse at the iTunes Store or you can also visit Air Mouse’s Website
