iPhone : Wireless Keyboard

Last weekend me and Mrs Dym bought a nice shiny 32" Samsung LCD to replace my crappy old 20" Bush CRT.

I loves it

The main advantage (from a techie point of view) is that my mediabox now plugs in by VGA and I get a proper 1360x768 resolution which can actually be used (unlike the fuzzy 800x600 resolution I used to get).

Whilst looking around for a wireless keyboard/trackball so that I can control the computer (I have an MCE remote, but that can't be used for browsing internetweb, using iPlayer/4OD etc..) from the sofa I was advised by a friend to look at the Logitech Touch Mouse app, which is free on the iPhone.

Suffice to say it's an excellent little piece of software which is simple to install (you need to install a server on the computer) and pretty funky to use

It works on all Windows operating systems, after XP, as well as Mac OS and is a pretty good solution for controlling a media computer without having to buy any new hardware.
