Use Romeo to program cell phone / Mac interaction
Authored by: dan55304 on Mar 02, '04 11:06:41AM

Salling Clicker has some nice features, yes. However, after trying the latest version for a couple of days I just couldn't stand it anymore and went back to Romeo. I'm running 10.3.2 and have a Nokia 3650.

The reasons:
1. Salling Clicker interrupts other processes. Try Marine Aquarium and you'll see what I mean. The fish stop moving every few seconds. I had iTunes running so I assume Clicker was updating my display constantly.
2. Tooooo slooooow. It took Clicker a few seconds to process a request to change tracks. That meant iTunes was completely silent during the change. Spinning lolly-pop, no response from iTunes, etc. Yuck!
3. Cost. $20 is too much for an iTunes and DVD remote control (my only use for a product like this)
4. Scripting. I find it easy to expand the scripting in Romeo. Maybe I would Clicker too, once I got used to it.
