Android Mouse

This is an app I wrote for Android phones.
It turns your phone into a wireless computer mouse!

You can control the mouse in two ways:
1. Tilt Mode: this mode moves the mouse pointer when you tilt the phone.
    It uses the accelerometer, so most phones should be able to support it.
2. Touch Mode: this mode turns the touchscreen into a wireless trackpad.
    You use it just like you would a laptop trackpad, although it's designed to be
    easy to control with just your thumb so you can hold the phone in one hand.

It also has two virtual mouse buttons (left and right click) which operate as
you would expect any mouse to operate.

Lastly, it works via wifi, so when you're at home you can just sit back and relax with it,
and if you're away with your laptop you can tether your phone to your laptop, and use it anywhere.

I may post a download of the app later; however, it still needs testing on more phones.

Anyway, check out the videos in 1080p on YouTube.
The first one is me demonstrating tilt and touch mode plus the mouse buttons on the desktop.
The second one is me playing Audiosurf in touch mode. The song is Pop Culture by Madeon.
