Rowmote – The Perfect Remote for your Mac and AppleTV
Most of us love the remote control which came with Mac. It’s simple and perfect to control the Front Row, iTunes, Quicktime, DVD Player, Keynote, and more. But it’s true that we carry our iPhone or iPod Touch wherever we go… There are a few different iPhone-based options to remotely control your Mac, but Rowmote might be the most complete. Probably the best iPhone-to-Mac remote solution I’ve run across. Rowmote is just like your Mac’s remote control but over the wireless network. Instead of just controlling your media via Front Row, it can actually switch applications on your Mac.
By tapping the Apps button, you get bonus abilities, switching between most controlled programs and toggling the iTunes Visualizer. Rowmote controls Front Row, Airfoil Video, Boxee, iPhoto, iStopMotion, iTunes, Quicktime, DVD Player, Keynote ’08 and ‘09, PandoraJam, Plex, Powerpoint 2004 and 2008, Skim, Spotify, and VLC. It’s an impressive list of apps that you can use from Rowmote and it also works with AppleTV.
Rowmote also has some features that greatly improve the user experience. Rowmote can even sleep and wake your computer! Rowmote 1.3+ also has preliminary eyeTV support with channel changing and volume control. Download Rowmote from AppStore for only 99 cents.
