Default Using sgs2 as wireless (multi) touchpad

A friend has apples multi touch pad for his macbook and it works really for general browsing/videos etc (that with a kb). I have been trying a few, none really allowed pinch to zoom. Does anybody know if its possible?

While searching, I found one called idisplay,

it extends your win7 desktop to your phone, then you can use the phoens touch screen to move around!

Because sometimes its nice to be able to shut the pc down from bed

droid to control what im playing on the tv or even vlc remote.
Remote droid has the touchpad but i dont know if its multitouch.

at home my pc is hooked up to my hdtv, so when sitting on the couch my mouse doesnt work so well. I could buy a new mouse, but after using the magic pad thingy I was thinking it was much easier to move about websites and click on episodes/movies. Im not saying I will get rid of my mouse, just certain times it would be easier for me.

So far, the sonar mouse works best (anybody else?), but I think it eats up the battery.

nice, remote droid looks ideal (just checked it out on youtube)...black background will save the battery...can it do pinch to zoom? Im wondering if its even possible to do it using this method, I was just hoping we could!

Yea im not sure if windows 7 even has pinch to zoom implemented.
maybe on touchscreen monitors but i doubt on the mouse.

I have remote droid setup in my startup list so after ive turned the pc on
i dont even need to touch the damn thing.

Also do you know about remote notifier? to get all your phone notifications
from your phone on your pc. thats good too if say youre phones downstairs.
