Jaadu gives students and teachers full control of their Mac or PC’s mouse and keyboard while providing a rich visual display of the computer screen on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Handy for doing work outdoor or on excursion.

Stephan Shankland reports: “Businesses, for various reasons, have not flocked to the iPhone, but CNET News’ Stephan Shankland reckons he has proof “from an expert” that its interface really is superior: his 3-year-old son.

Over the years, I’ve seen countless newbies struggle to use the latest gadget, computer, or software. I like new technology, but it’s been work hauling myself up learning curves.

But I’m convinced that after years stuck with only modest tweaks to the WIMP interface — windows, icons, menus, pointing device — real change is upon us. That’s chiefly because the pointing devices now can be your own fingers.”Within moments of his first crack at an iPhone, my son, Levi, had figured out how to flip from one photo to another by flicking his finger across the screen.

He understood with no coaching how to steer the simulated steel ball around the holes in the Labyrinth game by tilting the phone. He loves to type nonsense words on the notepad application using the virtual keyboard, deleting them once they’ve been read. In the three months since I got the iPhone 3G, Levi has learned to take photos, browse them, change the phone’s wallpaper, and, unfortunately, turn off Wi-Fi and switch on airplane mode.
