Pointer Remote for PowerPoint and Keynote

Turn your iPhone into a pointer for presentations and control PowerPoint 2004 or Keynote'08 presentations. Has'Next Slide'and'Previous Slide'controls, and can show notes from presentations on the iPhone display along with a timer. Pointer icon can easily by replaced by any image, which could be used for humorous purposes. Touch the screen to show the pointer - which is controlled either by orientation (takes practice) or by dragging your finger around the screen (easy) - your choice.

Requirements: Computer running Mac OS X 10.5 (it does NOT work on 10.4 or on Windows), WiFi connection (on the same local network or by creating a computer-to-computer network), and PowerPoint 2004 or Keynote'08 (choose program on the back side of the App). Pointer also works with PowerPoint 2008, although support for this will be increased in the next update.

A small Mac application, PointerServer, must be downloaded to your computer and started whenever Pointer is used. This program is available for free at:

This new version of PointerServer (v1.1), fixes a problem with starting Keynote presentations (many thanks to reviewer‘Presenter’). Previously, if the Keynote slide show was started using the computer, then the ‘Next Slide’/’Previous Slide’ controls did not work. (They did work if the slide show was started by pressing ‘Next Slide’). Now both methods should work. The Notes display feature for PowerPoint has also been improved in v1.1 (brackets no longer required).

A support e-mail address has been added to the support web site (more thanks to'Presenter').
