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

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
