It basically transforms your Android smartphone into a remote control for any type of computer that has the Unified Remote Server installed. In addition to general input devices like mouse and keyboard, it's possible to control a lot of other stuff in your PC. You can browse your whole file system and open files directly from the device, control Windows Media Player, iTunes or the like and control Power Point and other Slide Show applications. It's also possible to view the Task Manager and kill tasks or even shut down or hibernate your computer!
The app connects to the PC via UDP and TCP. It's also possible to connect via Bluetooth, however I didn't find out how to do it.
Anyway, the possibilities are enormous and for me this is definitely the future of mobile devices. Sooner or later, it won't be necessary to have a remote control for each device at home. Everything (and I don't mean only TV's and HI-FI systems) could be controlled with a smartphone. Imagine you being waked up by your alarm clock in your smartphone, which automatically triggers your toaster and coffee machine, so that your breakfast is ready before you've even stood up from your bed... Well, I think this is the very near future. ;)
Until then check out the app and comment what you think about it...
