Sony Ericsson Clicker  -  0.99

Product Description:

Clicker lets you remotely control your Macintosh from a compatible Sony Ericsson phone. Here are some ideas on how to use Clicker:

• Control PowerPoint or Keynote when giving presentations.
• Control DVD Player or iTunes from your sofa or bed.
• Use AppleScript to control anything you like!

Further, Sony Ericsson Clicker has a built in "proximity sensor", allowing you to trigger actions when you leave or come back to your Mac. Again, here are some ideas:

• Pause iTunes when you leave the room, turn it on when you come back.
• Use AppleScript to let your presence (or absence) control anything you like!

If you create the folder ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Safari/ and drop AppleScripts into it, they'll appear as I've illustrated to the right. This is a great way to clean up your AppleScript system menu (y'all have one, right?). No longer must you have a long list of AppleScripts in that menu just to use them in all of your apps.

This is pretty handy, really. It seems to work with any application - just get the name right (i.e. "Microsoft Entourage" instead of "Entourage"). More experimentation is necessary. Most of my Entourage scripts, for example, will remain in their script menu, but my iTunes scripts will migrate to this menu.
