Can anyone point me to a link that outlines unlocking a 3GS? I searched on TiPb, but can only find results for 3G. I have 3.1.3 software version on the 3GS.

Snatch works extremely well on my Windows Vista HTPC. I even made a remote control which works great. It's been added to the hoofien website for anyone to use. Snatch gets my vote.

Snatch 3.0 kills all. Check it out and it does work on PC. The additional remote screens are dope.

Snatch is more feature rich, but not very intuitive and doesn't support Windows, so I've been using Air Mouse. The Air Mouse developers admitted that the first version was very bare bones because they were more concerned about cross platform in the beginning, but that the new version coming out soon will more than make up for that. They gave me a glimpse of some of the new features (hope it's ok for me to say that) and it blows every other one of these remote apps out of the water, can't wait for it to come out.

How about the fact not everyone has a Mac. It would be nice to know if the programs work with Windows also. Air Mouse work for both Mac / Win. But Snatch is Mac only.

So a macro in this case is just to open an app?Isn't that more like the definition of a shortcut rather than a macro?

@Josh

The macros functionality does not extend beyond what is described in this review. I am not aware of a remote app for the DVD player, other then using Apple's own remote app and ripping the DVD to iTunes...

@Jason

My bad! You got me. I will edit the post to include the free link to Snatch lite.

I think they are both really good.

One thing that you neglected to mention is that if you simply want a great trackpad that just works, Snatch offers a Lite version for free. It doesn't have the keyboard, macros or other functions, but it is a great free trackpad. Snatch is definitely a winner in this case. Great app!

You guys usually have great reviews here on TiPB, but this one was a bit disappointing. I expected the Apps at hand being more deeply explored, especially the Macros function in Snatch.

For example, an important question before being the recommended Snatch is, do the Macros option work to configure for example the App to control VLC to play movies and Apple's DVD Player? If not, do you guys know any good App that does that efficiently?

Thanks...
