Keynote - Presentation Control

Yes. Forward advances a slide. Backward goes backward a slide. Play will play any media in a slide. Menu brings up a slide-selector tool.

If only the Apple remote was available in Bluetooth. The current remote requires a line of sight to the laptop, which makes it difficult to give presentations if you walk around the room much.

Agreed! When i gave my recent presentation in Physics, I had to keep reaching around my hefty teacher to change slides.

I generally use a Kensington wireless presenter rather than the Apple remote. I have this one, but I also have this one and like it better as it is slimmer. For both, the buttons are quieter and they each have a laser pointer. Note that these two options operate on different frequencies although I've not noticed a huge difference between the two in terms of reception. For both, I've found that you can have them in your pocket and change slides if you're reasonable close to the receiver (i.e., within 10 feet or so). Any further than 10-12 feet, though, and I've found that line of sight helps.
