Air Mouse works over a local Wi-Fi network to control you computer’s mouse and keyboard. Before using the app, you do need to install a small application on your computer. There’s a version for both Mac OS X and Windows users which manages the connection and controls many of the mouse and keyboard settings.
If you are prompted by your firewall or any antivirus software to block this program, please make sure you select to allow the connection.

Features:

• Accelerometer based air mouse
• Trackpad (full screen vertical and landscape modes)
• Media keys & Web keys
• Application notifications – Remote keyboard with function and arrow keys
• Programable hotkeys (can be set to run a program or keyboard combination)
• Scroll pad
• Multitouch gestures (scroll & right click)
• Modifier Keys
• On screen typing
• Password protection
• Custom sensitivity settings
• Foreign language keyboards
• Supports Bonjour or static IP
• No screen size limitation. Works with multiple monitors.

The first option for controlling the Air Mouse is to use the accelerometer. The buttons are as follows:

1. Settings: Click to access the preferences
2. Swap View: Click to switch to the touch pad control
3. Trigger: Holding this button activates the mouse movements. Keep it held down as long as you want to move the mouse. You can pull your thumb off it, move the mouse back, then press it again to gain more movement space. You can also tap the trigger quickly to activate a mouse click.
4. Scroll Pad: Run your thumb up and down over this part to activate scrolling.
5. Left Mouse Button: This will activate a left mouse button click. Additionally, if you hold this button down, it will also activate the trigger. This is useful if you want to click and drag something or highlight some text.
6. Right Mouse Button. This will activate a right mouse button click. Additionally, if you hold this button down, it will also activate the trigger.

The second option for controlling your mouse movement is to use this touch pad. This works the same as the touch pad on your laptop. It can be used in vertical mode with the keyboard showing or hidden, or in landscape mode by rotating your iPhone. The buttons are as follows:

1. Settings: Click to access the preferences
2. Swap View: Click to switch to the accelerometer based control
3. Touch Pad: Move your thumb anywhere over this surface to control your mouse movement. As long as your movement originates in this space, you can utilize the entire space, even where there are other buttons. Tapping quickly on the pad will activate a mouse click.
4. Scroll Pad: Run your thumb up and down over this part to activate scrolling.
5. Left Mouse Button: This will activate a left mouse button click. Additionally, if you hold this button down and move your finger onto the touch pad, you can move the mouse with the mouse down.
6. Right Mouse Button. This will activate a right mouse button click.

The trackpad also responds to some multitouch gestures just like your MacBook. To scroll, just use two fingers on the trackpad to scroll in any direction. To perform a right click, single tap with two fingers on the touch pad.

Keyboard

The keyboard can be used to type on your computer. As you type on your iPhone, the letters will be typed in real time on your computer as well as on the screen of the Air Mouse. You can type a Tab key by double tapping the Return key. Directly above the keyboard are 3 modifier keys. These are the same that you would find on your desktop keyboard. Ctrl, Win, Alt on the PC and Ctrl, Option, Command on the Mac. The modifier keys will change to the appropriate keys when you connect to your computer. These can be used to perform keyboard shortcuts, such as creating a new document by hitting Command-N. These keys also work for mouse click, so if you wanted to open a new tab in a web browser you could press the necessary modifier key and click on a link. Modifier clicks don’t work in every program though, so your results may vary. To the right of the 3 modifier keys is a minimize button. This will hide the main keys and show the function, media and web keys. If you want to hide the keyboard completely in order to have the entire screen as a trackpad, just shake the phone in a downward motion and it will slide away. To bring it back, just shake your phone in an upward direction.

Motion Guide

1. To move the mouse up and down on the screen, simply tilt the iPhone up and down in the air.
2. To move the mouse left to right, the first method is to use a long arcing motion.
3. To make quicker movements from left to right, hold your hand still and twist your wrist.

209.20.84.60:

macnewsworld.com:
“If you ever hook your computer up to the living room big screen to watch video or surf the Web, Air Mouse is worth the price. Setup is a breeze, and you get variety of control and customization options.”

Pocket Picks:
“There aren’t many applications that achieve a balance between practicality and the hallowed wow factor so often ascribed to the iPhone’s various features.”

arstechnica.com:
“That’s when I began to notice a slew of applications arriving on the App Store promising to turn the iPhone and iPod touch into a wireless mouse of sorts. There were quite a few to chose from, but eventually I chose to take a look at RPA Technology’s Air Mouse. I’m glad I did. ”

www.joetech.com:
“This is probably the best money I’ve spent in the iPhone Apps store.”

whatsoniphone.com #2
“It immediately struck me that this could be exceptionally useful in many different situations but especially if you use a slate tabletpc or UMPC, neither of which comes with a mouse or trackpad. I recommended it to a number of people who use UMPC’s and they all seemed rather taken with it…”

iphoneuserguide.com

jkontherun.com:
“Here’s the nifty part: since there’s an accelerometer in the iPhone and Touch, you can use the app like a gyroscopic pointer as well. To do that, I just held the top, center button of Air Mouse and tilted my iPhone left, right, up and down to move my cursor around. Slick!”

Discover: Free

STARMAP is a pocket planetarium, using the breath taking technologies of the iPhone. It brings the present and future sky map at the tip of your fingers, at any time, anywhere.
Get connected to seasons and astronomical events. Learn the star names, the position of the planets and foresee the next meteors shower with STARMAP. This version has been designed for users who wish to discover the night sky, without special astronomy skills.

I am an amateur of sky night and have a lot of interests in astronomy, so I think Starmap is a very useful, convenient tool in my observation. Last month I have a vacation with my friends in Saipan Island, when we were on the way fly to there at night,  I found there were some familiar stars just hanged outside the plane window. So I took out my iTouch entered time, the latitude and longitude coordinates(which broadcasted on screen of the plane) in Starmap ASAP, it quickly confirmed they were Regulus and Leo.

If you are a enthusiast and have telescopes, you can choose another app called Starmap PRO Edition which is a more professional version. It provides “More than 2 500 000 stars, NGC/IC catalogues, 25000 objects with detailed information”, and can be connected through Wifi to control telescope, perhaps my next goal is to buy a telescope to match this fantastic app…

But I think Starmap is totally enough for ordinary user, now it has updated to version 1.3.

SOME FIVE STARS REVIEWS ON THE APP STORE

This is the most money I’v spent on an iphone app,and this one hasn’t dissapointed. I’v owned it for about a month now,and I love using it with my meade LX200GPS. It’s also a great ambassador application to show people the power of the iphone.

“I love it. I have been waiting for a planetrium program that is as in depth as this one to come out.personally,I have been an amature astronomer for almost 30 years. the pro version has everything that you would need for serious abserving. It works well on my iTouch. The owner is quick to answer replies which is one of the marks of a good product. just take a look at the 15min. movie on his web site if you are unsure.”

“finally, a fully featured,intuitive, and highly detailed astronomy tool for serious sky watchers and casual ovservers alike who want to know and see more. A pro level app with a big data base that’s worth every penny. And it runs on a phone! One of those rare apps that is well thought out,well organized and well executed. The first night you use it,you’ll be amazed. Don’t go into dark without it.”

“I am an astronomy grad student and I do a lot of abserving and am sure this app will come in handy. Great to use as a teaching aid while giving students demos with our roof-top telescope but also useful for planning observing runs and getting that invaluable quick-look at the sky without leaving the demo”

“I whileheartedly recommend starmap Pro to serious amateurs and professionals. If you just want to look up at night and have an informative guid to constellations and planets,stick with th original starmap. If you want a handy,fearure-packed star atlas to use with a telescope, you’ve found it with Starmap Pro”
