We picked up an Ipad2 yesterday. I am a pc guy at heart, but the wifey's work computer is a Mac and she has gone to the other side. We have been playing with both her computer and the Ipad since we got home, is there a way to use the Ipad as a remote for the Macbook?
I'm not sure what type of remote control you are wanting to do, but look into these...
Mobile Mouse = a remote control app for iOS that gives you a mousepad and keyboard over wifi.
LetMeIn = a gotomypc type alternative that is free for basic use. This gives you a visual of the screen and control of the keyboard and mouse. This one is geared for away from the home scenarios but does work as a remote control depending on your internet connection speed.
MyMac = a remote control client for the mac. Free version will only allow you to remote one computer.
TIOD = a file sharing app that allows you to see a computer's shared folders and open pictures, videos, etc.
