Use your iPhone as a XBMC for Mac OS X remote

btw, someone tried this out already?
does it work for you?

Yeah, I would like your copy, it looks great! I was using VNsea to vnc into my mini, but that remote would be much more simple. Btw, are you running 1.1.3 on your phone?

i tested and it works great.
its a tad slow, but that might just be me.

great work.

You don't install it on the phone that's the ugly side of it..
You install the Telekinesis server on your Mac and then open the remote via Safari on your phone.
Hope you'll get it to work!

Does anyone want to build this in to XBMC? If the built in XBMC webserver had some logic that would recognize the user agent, notice that browser is mobile safari and serve up a page custom made for iphone. That way you just point you phone to the IP of you computer and click away.

it's already done, no ?

or with remote buddy but you have to pay 18$

a native app would be much cooler
i hate the webapps

Agree, I also hate the webapps.. But that was just and experiment.
It would be best to get Apple make the bluetooth support better so you could use it as a bluetooth remote with an native app.
Now when I have unlimited EDGE I hardly ever turn the WLAN on and with EDGE the reaction time is some few ms too high :/

Bought a Wireless Apple keyboard for now, the only downside is that if XBMC is not selected you can't control it and neither switch with command+tab...
With the iPhone remote XBMC didn't have to be selected.. if I remember correctly

anyone tried this: http://www.touchpadpro.com/ ?
