Does anybody know if Android offers an equivalent to the Rowmote app on iOS. Essentially it acts as a keyboard, and mouse for my computers. It can launch apps and act as a remote for any program that uses it. Its awesome for my home theater set up and a huge reason I love my iPhone and iPad.

Does Android have something that does the equivalent, preferably with OSX as I use it more than Windows.

Don't know if this is the same, but look up Unified Remote on the Play store or http://www.unifiedremote.com

I'm the developer of Rowmote. I'm really excited to hear that you're interested in an 'equivalent' to Rowmote on Android, because we're hard at work on an Android version :) The initial version will support remote control, dock/app launcher, and keyboard functions, a bit of a hybrid between Rowmote and Rowmote Pro; the trackpad/gesture pad part of Rowmote Pro will come later.

Finally bought Rowmote on my new android and junked iphone, last vestige/remnant for it loitering around was that it had Rowmote for my apple tv. Now that Rowmote is there on android, out went the iphone
