PuppetMaster is an application that turns your cell phone into a universal remote controller for Windows.
PuppetMaster works using bluetooth technology to allow you to control your computer from a short range, or GPRS data to control your computer from anywhere in the world!
Do you have a PowerPoint presentation to give? PuppetMaster allows you the freedom of a remote controller - at only a fraction of the price. It'll show you your slide notes as you go, and on supported phones, even the actual slides themselves!
Perhaps you just want to skip the song that is currently playing through iTunes or WinAMP? Just a click on your mobile phone and you're on to the next song. Or you can browse or search your songs by name or artist.
If you're proficient with VBScript or JavaScript, you can make PuppetMaster perform just about any action you wish. And if you're not, you can use the built-in scripts, as well as configure your own keymaps or file-open actions to provide a wide range of functionality.
