GMote

Your X is now a remote, mouse, and keyboard for your computer.

The connection isn't always the easiest, but for someone like me, who watches a lot of movies on a big LCD via HDMI from my laptop, it will be nice to not have to get off the couch!

You must get the accompanying PC/MAC/Linux app.

All for free! Saves me the ~$60 I was thinking of spending on a wireless keyboard and mouse

Gmote > Android Remote for anyone looking for more information.

sweet this never worked on my storm. Worked at once on here, and the linux shell works just fine as well with just a double click.

Hi, i love this app, though its not quote what i'm looking for, unless i have the settings wrong that is.

What i'd like is for the music to actually play in itunes and the play counts to increase with each play. Is this possible with Gmote? when i've tried it it seems to play the mp3's but not from any particular programme?? Or is their an alternative i should look into?

If I tunes is your default player for that file type I would think It would bring up Itunes to start playing it. Otherwise I am not sure.
