Sofa Control: Another Apple Remote Application
Seems like more an more people have been wanting to use Apple's Remote for more than just Front Row. Recently I blogged the Remote Buddy software, which is pretty impressive, well now there is another contender called Sofa Control. I still believe that Remote Buddy is a much cleaner produced application; however, Sofa Control has good AppleScript support allowing it to control other applications easier. Sofa Control also allows the user to add new applications and script up the actions they would like performed. In my mind open applications that allow the users to extend it's functionality is always a winner. The downloadable version allows you to operate for a full 30 minutes before ceasing to work, plenty of time to try it out.
