Logitech makes your iPhone a Mouse
Logitech's Touch Mouse app for iPhone and iPod touch makes carrying a mouse easier for netbook users.
Logitech has been in the rodent business for as long as we can remember. Using the iPhone and iPod touch's capacitive touchscreen, they're able to convert your iPhone into a portable mouse.
To use it, pop over to the iTunes App Store and download the Touch Mouse application. You'll also need to install a small Logitech Mouse Server on your computer as well to get it to work as it relies on a WiFi connection. We tested it over our WLAN and it worked well. The only hassle is that if you don't use it for a while then your iPhone goes to sleep.
For netbook users, this might easier that carrying a mouse in your bag. It supports Windows XP and 7 (Vista as well but who's running Vista on a netbook?) but there's no Linux version.
You can download the app from the iTunes using this link:
