- Control MythTV/Boxee or other programs that use Lircd (mplayer, xine, etc)
- Send mouse movement and keyboard events using a trackball or touchscreen device
- Connects over wifi or bluetooth (BlackBerry/Linux only for bluetooth)
- Works on linux,MAC OSX 10.6 or Windows (with cygwin)
- Customizable layouts (BlackBerry touchscreen version only)
Supported Smartphones
- BlackBerry touchscreen devices running OS 4.7+ (Storm/Storm2)
- BlackBerry trackball devices running OS 4.5+ (8300/8800/8900/9000)
- iPhone running OS 4.0+ (3G/3Gs/4)
