    Tried it out…..Its a nice application and works perfectly..Only problem being u need to be careful as it turns on the web service of your macbook, so remember to shut the service when not in use

    Tried this on my 20in iMac and it works flawlessly.
    Another great reason I will not be getting rid of my iphone in the near future. Some of these apps are amazing

    Nice app.
    It’d be so cool if they make it possible to use iSofa in other OS such as Linux or Windows. :P

    Works well on the Mac. Almost exactly like Telekinesis (cept Tele has webcam capture, but no media control, also it has screenview feature)
    But its almost as good as TouchPad Pro without screen viewing.

    Songs or media can either be played on the Mac or the iPhone. Dont think the video mentioned that : ) Click on the song title to play it via Safari.
