We’ve already talked about several Satechi accessories in the past. Now they’re out with one of those smart accessories that uses the app/service to do its job.

The name of their product is X-Pointer, and it’s a mobile presenter that also doubles as the stylus touch pen for iPhone. The tiny device is controlled via the X-Presenter app so you can use your iDevice to scroll through PowerPoint or Keynote presentation slides, while directing the audience’s attention using the included red laser.

The X-Pointer’s red laser is attached to iPhone via the 3.5mm jack, while the included mobile app can take full control over the computer’s mouse with the Mouse Mode function.

At just 1.6 inches in length and weighing only an ounce, Satechi’s device is small enough to be stored almost anywhere…

Finally the price – the Satechi X-Pointer is available for $29.99 at Satechi.net. The X-Presenter app is available for free at the Apple App Store.
