  1. this app is just awesome! it’s working perfectly over wi-fi.
    but so far i haven’t been able to connect to my pc over 3G/EDGE (“connection disconnected. network is unavailable”), although port 8899 is open.

    am i missing something here?

  2. First i thought “omg another buggy nonsense app”
    but this is so fantastic !

  3. thank you so much! finally an app that isn’t a retarded clock widget or rss catastrophe. and also for free, wow. just add a scroolwheel and maybe a smoother transmission rate and access over 3G and it will be perfect.

  5. hey guys very great work.wish u a very best of luck for all other application developments.

    i would just like to see an app like the miq app by dashwire which uploads ur video,photos,contacts,messages to the miq website automatically when an new photo is created in the photo gallery.the miq app runs at the background and scans for the changes in the gallery and looks for the photos and videos and automatically uploads them to the website.

    secondly is it possible to have a utorrent app for the samsung wave.

    best regards ,

    atul.

  6. just downloaded the app and i find it to be similar with Bcontrol

    pros: love the media player option! really makes it easier for me to watch movies when im far from my laptop mouse
    cons: wish the mouse action has a scrollable wheel at the right like in bcontrol..
