Hipporemote, 1 of iPhones Coolest Apps
http://lbwalton.com/hipporemote-ip…es-coolest-app/
So I was recently working on my a PowerPoint presentation and I realized that I was going to need a clicker to change my slides as I did the presentation. I thought to myself, “Man, I’m not trying to go to the store to just buy a simple clicker that they are probably gonna over-charge me for.” Then I nearly slapped myself when I remembered I had my ever-so-come-in-clutch iPhone!
I started looking for PowerPoint clickers in the App Store and came up on a TON. There was only one that really stuck out to me though. The full version of it had almost 5 STARS from it’s user ratings, and the free version wasn’t very far off in its user ratings. So with me being as economically smart as possible, downloaded the free version, and my experience with it was…WOW. I was not only able to click through PowerPoint shows with no effort, but i was able to use my trackpad and keyboard with it. And what made it even better it that the set up for it was soooo simple and didn’t require downloading from the internet for it to work with my comp. The response was perfect also. I have only been using it and playing with it a short while but my short experience has been a memorable one (may be the reason I decided to make a post about it).
