I've just been playing with Unified Remote and think it's fantastic, controls for all sorts of Windows things. Could see myself using this a lot to watch things in bed and listen to music etc.

Unified Remote... *Jizz*!!!

Had been using Gmote which was fine but this does everything that does and more. Very impressive!

My only complaint is that that media remote doesnt work with VLC, other than that its brilliant.

typing this using unified remote. lol its pretty smart
. needs a mouse control though with the keybord

Set up the quick switch in preferences then itll pop up when you hit the menu button on your phone rather than having to go back to the start for the menu.

Trust you to own the one android phone with no buttons

My Hero wins at something at least!

I have buttons, just not the right ones

I can't get it to work with Spotify, everything else works with it. :|

Great app, was awesome until I just had to remove the battery on my phone after quick switching from the kb to the mouse. Had constant force close messages. Couldn't do anything else.

Two goodies have arrived from Google. Walking Navigation Beta and Street View smart navigation. Walking navigation is in Google Maps 4.5 and Street View is a stand alone download.

I'm sorry but Google don't give us goodies!

Wait that's Apple

it might be because i was downloading it at the same time as you

working for me ok

Street view has installed fine for me.

Installed handcent, tis pretty good

one issue though its that the message notification stays in the notification bar even once read, I have to press clear to remove it :confused:

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

One more thing (said in Columbos voice) has anyone tried Dynomaster?

Are you sure that's not the default messaging app notification? Go into Messages and turn off notifications.
