[beta testers wanted] Windows Companion: Touchscreen Desktop Keyboard Extender

[enenies]

Extend your keyboard by leveraging your phone's screen as an extra touch-screen desktop PC keyboard helper. Have a look at Nenies Apps for more information

Some highlights:
- The app extends your desktop PC's keyboard with handy shortcuts on your phone that you may find hard to remember.
- Context aware: if you change your focus from Word, to Internet Explorer or some other browser, the App instantly changes buttons/layout.

After extensive testing and tweaking based on the input from the beta-testers, I'm pleased to say that this app is now available in the Windows Phone Apps Store!

I'm looking for volunteers that would like to give this app a try and give me feedback. For example, do you like the shortcuts that are available, or would you like more of some specific function. Any feedback is welcome.

You can PM me, or contact me via Nenies Apps. I will then add your Live ID to the beta-test section of the Marketplace, so you may install the app to your phone via the official channels. Anyone with a Windows Phone is welcome to participate, no need to be a developer and you don't need any unlock.

Thanks!

I like the idea of this. Sounds like SmartGlass for apps! Count me in.

I would also like gesture control of a Windows 8 pc if you feel like adding any features. Another app claimed to do that, and, well, it sucked.

Great! If you could PM me your live ID, I will make sure you will receive the download link.
SmartGlass for Apps: Good one, might be using that line along the road ;-)

I would gladly beta test for you. I second the touch gestures for Windows 8 should you get the itch to add features.

Beta testing this one now.

I really like this one but it seems to lose a lot by me not having a physical dock =D. I don't remember to use the app because it's not sitting up next to my monitor in a convenient way. Aside from that, I'm pretty fond of this and will be following it closely. Gotta get me a dock! It's hard being a graphic designer =P.

Can't you add a free trial, maybe with ads? I would love to use your app but unfortunately I can't buy apps in the store :'( I also think you could make some more money on it if you had a free trial because very many people want to try apps out before they buy them to see how good they work

How does it connect to the computer?

Sounds radical. I'm in.
