IOSPIRIT Releases Remote Buddy 1.0 RC1

IOSPIRIT has released Remote Buddy 1.0 RC1, offering support for the Nintendo Wii remote with Bluetooth-enabled Macs. According to the company, "If you have found a Wii under the christmas tree, you can now remote control your Mac as well! Among the other new features in this release is the ability to browse local and shared iTunes libraries and select and play individual tracks, albums and playlists. And we have something for movie fans, too: they can now select and launch VIDEO_TS folders directly from within Remote Buddy in either DVD Player or VLC. Thanks to Spotlight, Remote Buddy finds the respective folders itself and without any configuration. Another new feature is 'Custom actions' - which is the ability to create and manage your own, executable actions directly within mapping tables. With ease! Furthermore, a brand-new, multi-threaded driver architecture does now guarantee exact timing and higher performance under the hood." Remote Buddy 1.0 RC1 requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later, and is priced at $13.

Has anyone used this? Any improvements for those without a Wii?

Wow, just discovered this program. Very very cool for the control freaks out there (myself included). Together with ControllerMate, I could take over the world.

I wonder if it would be possible to somehow make my Mini control my other devices during powerup, like turn the TV and amp on. Now that would be cool!
