One thing that I really liked about Windows Media player was the fact that it had some really cool built-in visualizers. My family uses them for parties, I use theme when I clean my room, and I also use them when I have nothing better to do (a.k.a. procrastinating!). I don’t use Windows Media Player anymore, but I am still long for a good visualizer. On iTunes, you really only have one option, which hasn’t been changed for 5+ years. So, I thought that maybe I could download some more. Let me tell ya, there are close to no visualizers for iTunes. Sure, there are a couple for Macs, but on a Windows machine? Ha! You’ve got to be kidding me. I probably should’ve named this post “The Only 3 Visualizers for iTunes”. Although they are few in numbers, these are actually pretty cool! (Note: These are all for Macs and PCs)

Probably one of the best apps to come out after the 1.1.3 jailbreak, Touchpad is an iPhone/iPod Touch app which will let you control your computer via your iPod Touch (or iPhone). Though it might not be that convienent for some people who just do simple desktop computing, it is an awesome remote for those who use their computer as a DVR. It uses a regular VNC program (remote desktop program) which connects the iPod to your Computer so that you can control your mouse. It is very cool since you can use it just like a laptop touchpad. All day yesterday (thanks to snow and freezing rain), I was using this on my computer. I connected my computer to the brand new Olevia LCD television upstairs in my living room via a VGA plug and presto, a second monitor. Then, I finally figured out connected my iPod touch to my Computer using TightVNC and it worked like a charm. On the program, it also has some simple buttons you can press to allow you to shift click, right click, alt click, etc. Another cool feature is the keyboard (the same keyboard that you see people using on their iPhones) which allows you to type, of course (not the most efficient typing method, but hey, it works). The only problem I had was that when I wanted to right click, it would zoom to the corner of the screen and right click over there (later learned that this was a bug). So all in all, a pretty cool app especially if you use Windows Media Center on a T.V. where you could use this as a remote.

Here is a video that the developer made:
