We've previously mentioned my favorite A le Remote utility Remote Buddy, but the just-released RC1 adds su ort for the Nintendo Wiimote in addition to a variety of other su orted remotes (including obviously the A le Remote as well as offerings from Key an and Griffin). We've also previously mentioned several hacks, but this is (to my knowledge) the first commercial program to su ort the Wiimote as a useful i ut device.A while back I looked at several of the A le remote utilities, but I finally settled on Remote Buddy as being the most flexible. It includes a variety of control sets for popular programs (e.g. iTunes, VLC, QuickTime Player), without compromising acce to Front Row. Perha my favorite thing about Remote Buddy, however, is the keyboard and cursor emulation, which I often use to scroll on screen text when I'm leaned back and reading. Remote Buddy is shareware and ru 9.99 Euros (~$13) while in beta, but will increase to 19.99 Euros upon release (which is presumably coming soon given the release candidate). I definitely recommend it. What remote utility do you use?
