The new version of Remote Kitten ( Paid ) has just been approved on the App Store.
I am expecting version 1.1 Free to be approved shortly 
Scrap that both versions are now approved!
We have submitted the latest version of Remote Kitten to the app store!
The paid version now gains a touch pad, qwerty keyboard and 5 colour themes. Both versions have had a graphical overhaul and now jump back to the main screen after you select an option from the launch screen.
The app now runs on Windows XP but I have not tested it with the media center application. I would be interested to hear how it goes!
I expect the update to be approved within the next fee weeks.
It’s tough to decide on an advertising network to use in a free iPhone app. I started off using AdWhirl for that very reason. AdWhirl is a mediation layer that sits between the advertising networks and your application so you can change networks at any time.
Unfortunately when I released version 1.0 AdWhirl didn’t support the biggest network out there AdMob.
Two weeks latter AdWhirl is acquired by AdMob! Kind of defeats the purpose of Ad-Mediation doesn’t it, when the biggest player owns the mediation layer.
Now AdMob has been aquired by Google. This space is really heating up!
The next version of Remote Kitten uses a custom mediation layer. It basically sends out a request to our server first which tells it which network to use. I have integrated both Mobclix and AdMob. Glad I did now!
I have just rolled out version 1.1 of the Windows Service. It contains the following changes.
- Windows XP support. ( Not tested in media centre. )
- Full alpha keyboard support. ( For version 1.1 of the App. )
- Mouse support ( For version 1.1. of the App. )
The mouse and keyboard support will come out when the next version of Remote Kitten is approved on the App Store. The new windows service is backwards compatible with version 1.0.
You can get it on the Download page.
The current development version includes a few new features! In particular a virtual trackpad and keyboard!
I have created a little demo below
We have also fixed the Windows XP bugs
