Default Gmote makes the gTablet an amazing HTPC remote!

This app and the gTablet are a match made in heaven.

This combination allows you to control your HTPC without a keyboard, mouse, or clunky specialized device. The system is a tad bit laggy so don't expect to play any games with it but it works great for tapping in a quick search or address. No drag/drop either but you can long press for right click and then click copy/cut/paste in the menu. As an added bonus Gmote works fine with a USB mouse or keyboard!!

I had Gmote on one of my phones. It's pretty cool. I'll have to try it on the GTablet.

love gmote on my original droid, use it all the time esp during parties and what not, hopefully if i get my g tablet for xmas that will def be one of the first things i choose to install after roms of course.

i like the feature of controlling music over the gmote instead of using the mouse but thats cool too.
