The BEST way to take control of your computer's mouse and keyboard wirelessly through wifi. Install the Ultimate Control Receiver program on your computer (PC, Mac or Linux) and select it from the list displayed on your iPhone. ***** - A must have application! ***** - The best choice in the App Store to control your mouse and keyboard! In the "touch mode" the screen works as a touchpad. And thanks to the built in gestures, you can scroll, click by tapping or right-click performing a long press. The "pointer mode" allows you to move your mouse by moving your phones in the air, similar to the Wii remote. This option is only available for iPhone 4 and 4S models, since a gyroscope sensor is required.

Retinal

Not all displays for Mac are well suited to display the user interface in a non-scaled resolution. A pixel density of about 110 pixels per inch (PPI) for non-Retina, and about 220 PPI for Retina is comfortable for most people. Use Retinal to work out the pixel density of any display.
