Touchpad – Use Your iPhone as Your PC’s Touchpad

Touchpad iPhone app

Here’s another very clever iPhone app that’s already looking like a big hit with users.  Touchpad is a new program from developer Jahanzeb Sherwani that lets you use the iPhone as a wireless touchpad (funnily enough) for your PC.

Once you’re connected – to a VNC server running on your PC – you can do just about anything with the PC’s mouse via the Touchpad screen that you can with a normal laptop touchpad – it does clicks and double-clicks, dragging and scrolling, and has a popup keyboard.

Suggested uses for Touchpad include controlling videos and media, showing off picture sets, and running presentations – and it is really just a very cool tool all the way around.

You’ll need to add the developer’s source in order to be able to grab this in Installer.  The source to add is: http://cnp.qlnk.net/.  Once added, you should see Touchpad listed under the Utilities category.
