I have been a busy bod over the last week or so and I thought I would report in on some software that I have been playing with.
With more and more turning to PC's as high quality and very convenient sources, there may be some here that get as excited as I did about ngRC
Next Generation Remote Control
From the ngrc website:
* Full feature remote control (replacement for IR, let you control your media center over WiFi)
* Useable on all iPhones, iPod Touch, PSP, PC, Tablet PC (everything that is Browser-Capable)
* Extender Support (control every extender from every room, with only one remote control)
* Music-Library-Search (Browse your media center music library by Album, Artist, Playlist, Genre, Title, view Album Details, Title-Details, etc…), filter music by keyword.
* Play selected music
* Add selected music to playlists
* Show actual playing title
* Show actual playing playlist
* Nice Covert-Art display (mirror-effect)
* Direct Jump from Home-Screen to TV Guide, Recordings, Pictures, Videos
I have tried it out on my recently purchased and only slightly more recently touch screen modified eee PC 901 and it is a very capable package that works as promised by the author. If you are using a media center PC as a source, please do yourself a favour and try this out.
Does it sould like I am selling tnis? I promise you that untill this week I had never head of the package. Though I am in contact with the Author now.
If you are using an iphone or other small touchscreen (wifi enabled device) ngRC will e fine right out the box. However if yoou wish to use it with larger screens, the web interface is a little small. However the frontend is very hackable and I have alreay modified it to make a very useable eee PC 901 optimised interface
There are some of both the modified and unmodified screenshots here

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Thanks for sharing, the interface looks pretty cool. There's been a lot of talk about using cell phones or the iPod Touch as a remote. It's great to see them coming to market.
