An app for your phone (currently only iOS but coming to Android and Win Mobile soon apparently). That lets you control many things with your phone. Examples it gives are teamspeak, viewing system stats, volume, in game commands etc etc.

Basically you can bind it up with regularly used commands for each game and use them with unambiguous buttons. Also see who is talking to you on teamspeak etc.

Or that's my understanding at least. Very interested in this sort of thing. I've scoured the internet for a dedicated version of this sort of thing and haven't found anything with a good touchscreen at a sensible price (and I don't have the skills to build mobile apps myself --- yet), and now phones can do it. I have an old HTC Hero that could be setup dedicated, that would be really cool -- maybe even an excuse to buy a bargain basement tablet...

Looks rather nice, there's also an (inevitably over-priced) keyboard that you can dock your phone into:

​ Bring on the randomness!
Apparently I actually exist! Or maybe it was the drink?

going to try this on my nexus 10.

I'll let you know how I get on.

FYI you have to download a program to your pc (host) and the mobile app.

I can't find my pc from my nexus 10 :(

I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, it just doesn't do anything once I put my pc's IP in.

My Nexus10 worked straight away with no issues :g:

Struggling to think of a practical use of this for me, other than Kreg's buy script idea which sounds like it might be useful.
