invisibleSHIELD Screen Protector Flexes its Muscles

Chances are you've seen the Blendtec YouTube video from their "Will It Blend?" series where an iPhone is run through a blender to demonstrate the power of a Blendtec blender. If you enjoy that kind of grandiose product demonstration at the expense, or potential expense, of an iPhone, you're going to get a kick out of a new video from ZAGG Inc which demonstrates the shocking strength of their invisibleSHIELD screen protectors.

If you're not familiar with the invisibleSHIELD, the invisibleSHIELD is a screen protector for the Apple iPhone which is known for its remarkable durability, ease of application, and strength (as demonstrated in the video, below). To top it all off, as the name implies, the protectors are practically invisible once applied. iPhoneFAQ reviewed the invisibleSHIELD for the iPhone and iPod Touch some time ago, and we've made no secret of what fans we are since.

This new application, called 'Touchpad for iPhone', allows you to use your iPhone as a wireless touchpad to control your PC mouse. The application is based heavily on VNsea (a graphical VNC client for both the iPhone and the iPod touch) and requires that you have a VNC server installed on the PC you wish to control.

At first, this might seem like a useless parlor trick, but a quick bit of thinking (or reading of Sherwani's suggested uses) quickly reveals a potential for a serious level of utility from Touchpad. Basically, Touchpad allows you full mouse based control over your PC via your iPhone. As Sherwani points out, this means that Touchpad for iPhone can be used to wirelessly perform tasks on your PC such as
