HippoRemote Basic

HippoRemote Basic

While HippoRemote Pro focuses on controlling media Macs & PCs, HippoRemote Basic aims first and foremost to turn your iPhone and iPod touch into a fantastic replacement for your wireless keyboard and mouse. It works over WiFi, letting you control your Mac/PC from anywhere in your home or office.

It's great for web surfing from your couch, navigating slideshows or delivering a presentation. And with our built-in full-screen arrow pad, Basic is also a great way to control many media programs.

Hippo Basic also includes the Hippo Store, giving you upgrade options for the incredible Browser, Twitter and Boxee Plugins that come with Pro.
