Salling Clicker - Use handheld devices as Mac remotes
Good range I'll give you -- we use the Media Remote at home on an iTunes iBook, and it does have good range. However, it's not cheaper unless you're including the cost of purchasing a Bluetooth device -- the Presentation Remote is around $50, and Clicker is $19.95. I'm assuming that people will not purchase a Bluetooth device just to use Clicker, of course :)

Point taken, but I was including the cost.... I never cottonned on to the Palm thing - there is a IIIc sitting around here someplace that I bought, loaded, carried once and lost interest - considering my PB is always around the Palm seemed redundant. My cellular provider updates my phone every 2 years for free.... Besides, the Keyspan includes a laser pointer.. ;-}

True but the Keyspan doesn't have onscreen VISUAL FEEDBACK like Salling Clicker does. The minute I was able to browse through all of iTunes playlists on a Zire 72, search for songs, start playing music as well as keep tabs on the upcoming songs...

I would do anything to have a remote for my computer. I don't believe my iMac has the ability. I never would have guessed there were so many possibilities. They all sound really good. Rob, great idea to go to Oregon. You never know what you could discover. :)

Use infrared devices as Mac remotes and vice versa
Please have a look at iRed if you are looking for a decent infrared solution. Compared to Keyspan it can not only receive but also send infrared codes. So controlling your audio/video devices is a snap.

I had a similar reaction to my bluetooth device. I didn't think it would work as far as it did, but I kept walking backwards until I hit a wall! |
