Use your iPhone as a mouse and keyboard with Air Mouse

The application itself is a bit expensive but good enough to handle a virtual keyboard and mouse on the iPhone.

Beyond the mere operation as a trackpad, a functionality that many of us already know in other apps, it can function as a pointer controller sensitive to the iPhone's accelerometer with which we can handle it as if it were a presentation pointer. It still has a lot to develop in this regard, but its operation as a trackpad greatly improves usability.

It has a right, middle, left button, vertical and horizontal scroll but I think it is missing some important features:

Since we have a controller via wifi we could also have an emulation of the Apple Remote control since when we execute front Row we are left without being able to control it from the same device, that is, the iPhone, thus having to lift the back of the sofa to reach the remote .

It is true that with a keyboard we can handle Front Row but the small keyboard that comes with the iPhone does not have cursors with what we cannot manipulate in Front Row. Only exit by pressing any letter on the keyboard since we do not even have the «esc» key.
