Use your iPhone (must have firmware version 2.0 +) or iPod Touch (must have firmware version 2.0 +) to control your Mac. This free application, iSofa, is great for controlling media remotely. I briefly had an opportunity to download it and try it out before my iPhone 3G’s screen cracked for no reason. The installation was fairly easy. I could not find it through iTunes so I had to manually install it on my Mac and then enter a private address in Safari on my iPhone. Once the installation was complete, the rest was a piece of cake. The remote worked beautifully. I will have more feedback tomorrow when I have a new phone to test it on. In the meantime, here is wha the creators of iSofa have to say:
iSofa is a web application, it uses the Apache web server of your Mac (already installed in your Mac).
You will access iSofa using Safari from your iPhone / iPod Touch by WiFi, EDGE with iPhone and 3G with iPhone 3G.
Requirements:
- Mac OS X Tiger / Leopard
- iPhone, iPhone 3G, or iPod Touch
