Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I'm pleased to announce that Remotux is now up on the App Store and<br>
can be used to control Linux and OS X (10.6) computers! Simply install<br>
Remotux on any iPhone or iPod Touch and then install the Remote Input<br>
server by following the instructions at:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RemoteInput/rinputd" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RemoteInput/rinputd</a><br>
<br>
Also, the protocol for the Remote Input server is open (as is the<br>
software, of course) so I encourage anyone wishing to build a client<br>
for Android or Maemo (or anything else) to do so! Protocol information<br>
can be found at:<br>
<br>

<br>
Thanks for your support!<br>
Chase Douglas<br>
<br>
PS: I've left my original message about Remotux below for anyone who<br>
is not familiar with it.<br>

</blockquote></div><br><br>Just gave this a shot, and it works great! I previously used iTap for controlling a slingbox playback in windows, and remotux seems more responsive, this will come in handy for my keyboardless front ends.<br>
<br>Thanks!<br>
