Pad is a new application that allows you to control your Mac computer from your iPhone or iPod touch.Pad features include:

• Full multi touch mouse support (left/right-click, scroll, double-click, drag)
• Custom keys (any keystroke/hotkey)
• Send text strings (non-ascii characters present in iPhone keyboard also supported)
• Application-specific custom keys
• Four customizable gestures (Up/Down/Left/Right)
• Direct control of system volume
• Auto-connect to host computer
• No screen size limit (all resolutions supported), no screen count limit (all screens).

Pad works by connecting to a Mac running PadD, the server included with Pad. The server allows the user to bind custom keystrokes to images or a set of predefined gestures and send them to the iPhone/iPod Touch. This allows you to access any keyboard shortcut you might have in any application on your Mac.

You can also send text strings from the device - into the address bar of your web-browser, chat client, Spotlight, etc. With shortcut buttons in Text View- such as copy, paste, undo, enter, backspace and tab - you can also edit almost any type of text.

Pad sells for $1 through the iTunes App Store. See here for its iTunes listing page.
