Apple iDevices can easily replace many different devices in your home. In one of my previous tutorials I showed you how you can replace your Apple TV remote controller with iPhone, iPad or iPod. In this tutorial I will show you how you can turn your iDevice into wireless mouse or keyboard which you can use to control your Windows or Mac computer. With simple and lightweight application from Logitech, enabling this feature on your iDevice is nothing complicated.
