Remote Buddy extends use of Apple Remote

ByMike Moffit

IOSPIRIT GmbH announced the availability of a preview of version Remote Buddy 1.0 for Apple’s Remote.

Remote Buddy provides you with a one-stop interface that allows you to control almost anything on your Mac just with the remote control. Besides tools that allow you to emulate keyboard and mouse, eject CDs, terminate applications and much more, Remote Buddy also can control applications directly.

It does this through specialized plugins, so called Behaviors. Already included with Remote Buddy are Behaviours for iTunes, Keynote 3, PowerPoint, Photo Booth, QuickTime Player, EyeTV 2, DVD Player, VLC Media Player and Real Player.

Remote Buddy is available as a free 30-day demo or for the preview price of about $13 (9.99 euros).
