Is there an option to use it like the new glass mouse trackpads without any physical buttons being emulated?

Yes, there is. You can use it just like a trackpad if you want. Very cool, IMO. I have a mini as a media server and use the iPhone to control it this way.

agkm800 · Oct 24, 2009, 08:29 PM

Just bought it now and this is a truly amazing app. I thought I'd never buy another paid app, but this was too hard to pass and boy am I glad I bought it.

PBF · Oct 24, 2009, 10:27 PM

Those black buttons are hideous. Very anti-apple.

spillproof · Oct 24, 2009, 10:29 PM

I bought this back when it was like $5. It was worth it though. Works even on my college's wifi network with no lag.

Jack Flash · Oct 24, 2009, 10:37 PM

Thanks! Grabbed this even though I don't have an iPod touch to use it on at the moment! (Where's my camera, Steve?

)

gillybean · Oct 24, 2009, 10:41 PM

Does anyone know if this app (or any other app in the app store) can be used as a multi-touch input device on a PC?

Specifically I want to run the Windows Touch pack programs but I don't have a touch screen, so it'd be great if I could get an iPhone app to act as the multi-touch Touch screen input for me.

sammich · Oct 24, 2009, 10:42 PM

Got it as soon as I saw the thread on spy.

Very, very nice

ozzyman500 · Oct 24, 2009, 10:58 PM

I have this. Works well.

ghostwriter · Oct 24, 2009, 10:59 PM

Bought this app awhile ago. Never able to get it to work with my MBP, despite attempts by developer to help me work thru the set up. First app I'm completely disappointed in. It sounds awesome, but it clearly doesn't work for everyone. That said, the dev seems willing to help you work thru any issues you might have.

chstr · Oct 25, 2009, 12:00 AM

gonna try it, does it need to be connected to a data source (wifi or 3G) to work?

sparkles61785 · Oct 25, 2009, 12:13 AM

This app is awesome! I've had my eye on it for some time. But I was turned off by the steep price. However, when I saw that it was on sale, I had to jump ship and purchase it. It works flawlessly on my Vista/64 bit PC. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes, WiFi.

TraceyS/FL · Oct 25, 2009, 07:44 AM

I bought it for a dumb reason. Hoping to see if it works later today for me! Lol!!

FYI, I had it on my appshopper wish list - so I got a nifty email message when the price dropped. I love that feature, and there have been some with short drops and I would have missed them without it!

So go sign up for one!!

chstr · Oct 25, 2009, 09:31 AM

it is very cool takes some getting used to. It worked for a few minutes then stopped working

Pika · Oct 25, 2009, 09:48 AM

I used Air Mouse Pro for a long time and i find out that TouchPad is better because it support 1, 2, 3, 4 finger gestures... unlike this one you need to touch big buttons just to click something.

I'll have to add this to my watch list.

For now though, the Air Mouse did exactly what i wanted/needed!!! It was pretty cool

0eyvind · Oct 25, 2009, 10:53 AM

Amazing! Definetly worth the money!

DrawnToLife · Oct 25, 2009, 12:13 PM

You can't use Touchpad on Windows, so I think that Air Mouse Pro is for me.

Yup. Thats a big letdown. Mac will always be my main computer but I still have to use windows too. Unless they add windows support, Air Mouse is definitely the better choice here also considering it`s 50% ceaper than TouchPad at the moment.

chstr · Oct 25, 2009, 05:54 PM

unfortunately it just does not work for me. worked for 30 seconds and then stopped. I select my server in the settings and nothing. oh well. looked cool at first

LoganT · Oct 25, 2009, 07:04 PM

I have Air Mouse Pro and Snatch. I actually prefer Snatch.
