Touchpad.app - Use your iphone like a laptop mouse for PC

This is truely amazing, found this application while browsing Digg and thought I'd have to share this with the community.

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~jsherwan/projects/touchpad/

Simply download and install VNC Server (google for RealVNC Free Edition) and add your wanted Port and Password (Make sure encryption is turned off)

On iPhone add your PC's IP, VNC Server Port and VNC Server Password and viola

I believe that VNC Server can also be run on Linux and Macs but the software has to be bought

Personally tested this app myself and works wonders

yah. definitely cool

also... typing wirelessly from my iphone is strangely satisfying.

if you're on a mac, this is very easy to get up and going. after installing the iphone app, just go to system preferences (on the mac), then "sharing," then turn on "screen sharing." you can also enable a password by clicking on "computer settings."

this program is awesome! i think you should add stuff specific to mac track pads such as 2 finger drag to scroll or 2 finger tap to right click.
