Android App of the Week: Gmote
Gmote for Android: A remote for your PC’s media. Via WiFi, you install a server on your PC and it syncs to it via WiFi. You can then browse your C drive for music or videos and play them on your PC or stream it to your phone. (Videos don’t really stream to the phone, depending on the codec).
Don’t expect an iTunes/Winamp/Media Player replacement over here. It plays the videos in a ghetto ass java window, and it plays music on your PC in the background (you can’t see it from your computer). Hell you can even install it on your sibling’s computer and mess with him/her. Anyway, this works well if you’re lazy like me and don’t want to get up.
This app also has a touchpad mode to control your mouse, so you can use it to advance PowerPoint presentations (seems like a waste of phone battery to me, since the screen would need to stay on).
Do I use it all the time? Nope. But it’s something cool to have that works well, especially when I get a new laptop with HDMI out and want to watch stuff on my TV.
Check out gmote.org for more info.
