Does anyone know of any Android or iPhone/iPad apps that act like a bluetooth remote for a HTPC? I don't know if they exist or are possible but I'm looking for something that would let me use my iPad, iPod Touch, or Nexus One as a remote control for Windows Media Center.

It would also be nice if the app worked with a PS3 for blue-ray playback as well.

Thanks in advance

there is an app for the iphone/itouch called remote, but it only can control itunes. Works well though.

Have and use Remote but The way I have my HTPC set up its a much better UI with Windows Media Center. Using iTunes will require a fair amount of leg work time on my part that I'd like to avoid.

I haven't been a big fan of that app. But I'll give it another go and see if it'll work for my needs

A loooong time ago, Air Mouse Pro ($1.99) was reviewed as one of my first apps on AppJudgment. I actually still use it. It works on both Mac + Windows - read more here: http://www.mobilemouse.com/

Or you can watch the review (though there have been upgrades since last year): http://revision3.com/appjudgment/ip_airmouse

Good luck!
