Cool Shit Review
Cool Shit Review from friend / friend.
http://www.salling.com/
http://www.salling.com. developed for macs initially but looks like they have a windows app now too. lots of cool little features and can download different shareware functions users have designed. My friend primarily use it to control iTunes on his computer while sitting in the backyard and to control power point or keynote (the mac version of power point) when giving presentations. also pulls up the contact in your address book on your computer when you get a call and can also log incoming/outgoing calls in your calendar. basic geek goodness…
as to wireless music in office and at home, pick up an "airport express" from apple. $119. a basic wifi node with the advantage of being the size of a bar of soap (therefore, take with me when going on trip so can get wireless in hotel, etc) and has an audio out plug.
just plug into you stereo and iTunes will automatically recognize.
therefore, can sit at my desk at the office and control the stereo across the studio. can also "bridge" them to create wireless in every room with only one being plugged into an adsl box. has the side advantage of then being able control music from one pc for multiple rooms in house or office. pretty slick.
