sorry should of added i have media centre, along with a remote for it already, but that will only do films etc, was wondering if there was a type of pointer that you can just point at the screen and click away like a mouse for say browsin tinternet.

Instead of using something like a Wii controller you could actually use a Wii controller. You'll need a controller, a light bar and a good hit on google.

I've got a custom PC magazine somewhere with the how-to details. It didnt look too tough to get it up and running.

Alternately, there is a logitech "air mouse" you can wave around in the air and move a pointer, I dont know how good it is though...

Buy a logitech diNovo if you are going to surf. Because if you are going to surf you will have to type (usually).

diNovo has an integrated touchpad and bluetooth.

install RDP on your iphone?

Have been known to be that lazy!

Also a "remote control" app for VLC on the iphone too.
