There are actually two components to TouchMouse; the iPhone app and the Logitech TouchMouse Server software. The latter comes in Mac OS X and Windows (XP, Vista, and 7) versions, and must be installed on the Mac or PC in order to “host” the virtual mouse and keyboard created by TouchMouse. <\/p>\n The “mouse” has three buttons for your “clicking” pleasure, and uses the majority of your iPhone screen as a touchpad. With the touch of a button, you can bring up a keyboard to type on your Mac or PC. <\/p>\n There are other apps that can do the same thing if you’re not a fan of Logitech. Air Mouse Pro<\/a> [US$1.99, iTunes Link<\/a>] is probably the most powerful and popular Wi-Fi mouse in the App Store, while Rowmote Pr<\/a>o [US$4.99, iTunes Link<\/a>] has a large and vocal fan following. If you’re looking for free (and who isn’t?), Logitech’s TouchMouse app can give you a taste of remote control at absolutely no cost. <\/p>\n TUAW<\/a>Logitech gives away free wireless mouse and keyboard (it’s an app)<\/a> originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)<\/a> on Tue, 02 Feb 2010 08:30:00 EST.

Peripheral manufacturer Logitech has released a free app that lets you turn your iPhone or iPod touch (or probably even your iPad, if you’re Stephen Colbert) into a wireless mouse and keyboard. The free TouchMouse app [iTunes Link<\/a>] is perfect for those situations where you’ve connected your Mac to a TV and want a way to control it from the comfy confines of your favorite couch.<\/p>\n<\/h6>\n
