Third-party app turns iPhone into a touchpad

Touchpad for iPhone

Don’t you just love the iPhone developer community? They keep pumping new apps without the official SDK and any support from Apple (NSDQ: AAPL).

Today we spotted a new native application called Touchpad that — as you can assume for yourself — turns your iPhone into a wireless touchpad. Now you’ll be able to control your PC’s mouse using nothing but your shiny handset. Click, double-click, drag and even vertical scrolling is possible…
In order to start using Touchpad, your iPhone should be jailbroken and then:

  • Start Installer.app, and go to Sources. Click “Edit”, and then Add this repository: http://cnp.qlnk.net/
  • After the refresh, install Touchpad from the Utilities category.
  • You’ll need to have VNC installed on your desktop.

The short demo video follows after the jump.
