Mediaboss Marketing

Launched last year and, for some unfathomable reason not covered here before, I thought TouchRemote was well worth a mention for anyone looking to control media on their Windows PC from a Symbian smartphone. This latest update works with Winamp, iTunes, VLC Media Player, Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, ZoomPlayer and TerraTec HomeCinema - look past the implementation in Java and you'll see what looks to be a fairly comprehensive solution.

From the TouchRemote web site, here are some appropriate screenshots:

From left to right, the TouchRemote main menu on Symbian; the built-in implementation of Remote Desktop; the integral mouse emulation.

From left to right, the remote file manager; WinAmp media control; and iTunes control.

The TouchRemote download page has a trial version that offers most (though not all) of these functions, so you can check whether this is something that's practical for you in the first place.

Comments welcome - is this something that you need or is a solution looking for a problem?
