Brainy guy, Joshua Sera has developed the RemoteDroid, an application that allows the Android-powered G1 to control a PC or Mac remotely, as if using the G1 as a wireless keyboard or mouse for the computers.

There may have been some other similar apps for the iPhone, but it’s the first of its kind for the Android device. The RemoteDroid is demoed in the video below, which was used to perform a number tasks on the developer’s notebook, such as using the trackball of the phone to be like a mouse, manipulating the cursor, touching the screen to perform mouse clicks, highlighting text and even using the G1 like a keyboard for entering some texts directly from the phone.

The RemoteDroid is now available for download from the RemoteDroid site. The key features of this application including user-selectable ouse control, two onscreen mouse buttons with right click/control click functionality, use in portrait or landscape mode, works with WiFi network, and you’re able to use it to control Mac, Windows, and even Linux PC.
