The iWavit TrackPad app turns your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into a multi-touch track-pad with two-finger scroll, tap, pinch and zoom. In addition to this you can use it as a wireless USB Keyboard, wireless USB Microphone, and gamepad.

NOTE: IT REQUIRES iWAVIT HARDWARE! The app will not work without it. The iWavit is an accessory that adds new hardware capabilities to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. See www.iwavit.com for details.

You just insert the plug&play iWavit USB dongle into the computer you wish to control and launch this app. NO SOFTWARE INSTALLATION is required on the PC/Mac/Linux!

FEATURES:
1. Wireless trackpad:
This is just like with the familiar trackpad built into most laptops. Move your finger across the surface of the iPhone or iPad to move the cursor on the PC screen. The main difference is that you are now "untethered". You can place your iDevice next to your PC or sit with it in a sofa or walk around, all the while being able to move the cursor.

2. Tap-to-Click:
Tap on the screen to emulate Left-Click. Alternatively, switch the app into the "Gamepad" mode to reveal left and right mouse buttons.

3. Two-Finger Scroll:
One of the most loved features on an Apple PC - Drag two fingers up/down screen to scroll up/down.

4. Right-Click:
Tap with two fingers to emulate a Right-Click. Alternatively, switch to "Gamepad" mode to be able to have a discrete Right-Click button.

5. Pinch-Zoom: Use two finger in a pinching motion to zoom in or out. (This is equivalent to the CTRL+Scroll Wheel on a regular mouse).

6. Multi-PC control:
This a unique and powerful feature of the iWavit Trackpad. Say you have multiple PCs hooked to to different screens or projectors. Now you can easily switch between controlling each of them separately as if you are sitting right in front of them.

7. Wireless microphone:
If you want to use the wireless USB Microphone that is built into the iWavit Premium hardware, simply press-and-hold the microphone button while you talk.

8. Wireless USB Keyboard:
Having a wireless trackpad is great, but you will inevitably find that you need a wireless keyboard to enter text for searches or to log in. This app turns the iPhone and iPad into a wireless USB Keyboard. It works on any PC/Mac/Linux box. The key-presses are shown on the iPhone when you click on keys, and persist for a few seconds. All key presses are sent immediately to the PC.

9. GamePad:
Tap the upper-right corner icon on the TrackPad screen, and your iPhone transforms into a wireless GamePad. This is a hybrid between a trackpad, and the arrow and keyboard keys normally used in single on-line games.

The HOME button in the lower left corner of the main screen will take you to the iWavit Flow app, if it is installed. This app provides for convenient cover-flow selection of all iWavit apps stored on your iPhone as well as all those available on the App Store.


BACKGROUND:
What are iWavit Remotes?

The iWavit is a new accessory for the iPhone, iPad & iPod touch. It comes in 3 models, the iWavit Basic, iWavit Premium, and new Bluetooth Smart iWavit Blast! models. The iWavit provides additional hardware capabilities to the iPhone with a goal of being able to turn the iPhone into a wide variety of different Remote Controls and Input Devices. iWavit Remotes are apps which provide different user interfaces that turn the iPhone into different "Virtual Remotes" which are metaphors for the real physical devices.
