Use an iPhone or iPod touch as a cordless numeric keypad on your Windows PC

Filed under: , , , ,


Does your laptop sport a full-width keyboard but you wish it had a numeric keypad? For those who crunch a lot of numbers, Sure, you can pick up a USB keypad pretty cheaply, but why lug around one more piece of plastic and PCB if you don't have to?

If you're already toting an iPhone or iPod touch, Balmuda Designs' free NumberKey app is up to the task. Install the server on your notebook or desktop (Windows and Mac are both supported) and grab the free iPhone companion from the App Store. After you install the server, launch it, scan for, and connect to your iPhone.

Once connected, you're free to input digits from the most expensive numeric pad in your office!

Bonjour is required, which you can find as a standalone download here on Apple's website.
