How cool is Salling Clicker?
This piece of software *rocks*. I bought it (as Sony Ericsson Clicker) years back when I had a Sony Ericsson t68i and I love it even more now than I did back then. If you have a compatible Bluetooth phone and like chilling out away from the computer to watch a movie or, well anything, then this is for you. I am using the standard installed version on the T-Mobile Touch (Windows Mobile 6) I got last week and the combination of the touch screen and Salling Clicker is a total winner. I have a customizable universal remote for both my Macs. I mostly use it at the moment to control my iTunes machine (iMac G4/800). I can navigate around the playlists in iTunes, control playback, it’s like having a iPod stereo system. Also it allows you to put the computer to sleep. A REALLY neat feature I struck upon last night was I made a cell call on the phone while I was connected to the iMac and the music faded down as I picked the phone up… and back in when I closed the call. Damn that is so cool…
By default 3.5.1 comes with controls for all the major Apple apps, and Powerpoint and a few others to boot. Fancy kicking back and flicking through your weeks video podcasts while you sit away from your computer? No problem. You don’t even have to go back to the computer to check and read your e-mail!
Oh and it’s also available for Windows… I can’t vouch for it there though as I only ever use the OS X version.
