But so far, failure.

I have used both of these Apps on my iPhone and they are nice on the couch and I will probably set them up with the iMac and use that when we are watching TV shows or movies from the couch.  It is not a great tool for sitting and working with my MacBook like I would a mouse.

I have to say that for a standard mouse replacement this blows … big time!!!

I think that it will only fit that remote use like the Mac Mini I keep thinking about for my media center.

In his case this will be his primary system, I am looking forward to hearing more about his experiences. Because he is doing what I hope to do by the end of this year for my family. My wife is on board and that is the most important part.
