HippoRemote

If you've connected a computer to your TV, you're probably loving the Internet on the big screen. But you're probably also a bit put off by having to keep a keyboard and mouse lying around your sofa. HippoRemote is the answer you've been looking for.

HippoRemote turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a wireless keyboard, trackpad & remote control, with customized controls for a whole slew of programs (Boxee, XBMC, Windows Media Center, iTunes, and all your favorite web browsers to name a few).

With HippoRemote, you have the best of both worlds — A remote control when you only need a few buttons and a full keyboard & mouse when you need more flexibility.
