Hey Everyone,
I'm one of the developers at Iced Cocoa, a small team working to create useful and unique iPhone applications.

A week ago we released our first iPhone application called Keymote (http://bit.ly/pzqAd). Keymote is an application designed for the Mac to speed up your workflow, improve your productivity, and control almost any application wirelessly. You can find more information on it at our website, http://icedcocoa.com.

So far, it has been featured in TUAW, Ars Technica, and some other small blogs. I'd love to hear what you guys have to say about it.

Thanks!

Yep, got this and quite like it. But, is there a key to activate the menu bar? Not come across it yet (new to Macs)

Also, is there a way to rearrange the keys in the keysets you create or do I have to be strategic and plan the layout in advance?

I got Keymote a few days ago and so far it's such a awesome app!

I like it, but very often it lags even on a good connection. It also needs a keyboard. I read automatic App detection is in the works which will be great. Also maybe an app launcher as opposed to opening the applications folder and scrolling through

Like when I select the Keyset it also opens that application

I'm not quite sure what you mean about activating the menu bar...

Awesome. Thanks. A very nice iphonesq interface.

Re menu bar being "live", I meant a la Windoze and pressing the Alt key, ie it becomes active and moving left/right scrolls across the menu bar and then you can "scroll" down to items that don't have a hotkey shortcut.
