Control Mac with iPad: HippoRemote Pro 2.0

HippoRemote Pro 2.0 is $4.99 and a less-feature rich basic version is available for $0.99 and a new Lite edition is available for free.

It offers all kinds of app profiles to control applications like Boxee, Windows Media Center 7, Hulu Desktop, your web browser, iTunes, and more. Plus, you can create macros, easily switch apps, wake up your device over LAN, and use international keyboards.

The new version of HippoRemote Pro also features an awesome Boxee plugin that adds the same kind of gesture control as the official Boxee iPhone app, as well as a built-in web browser (for checking the web, IMDB or Facebook and Twitter client that lets you check your timeline, mentions and send tweets all from the remote application.

Control Mac with iPad: Keymote

Keymote from Iced Cocoa is a Mac-only remote control that works by creating little application-specific keysets to control specific actions. Think of it like those macro-based IR remote controls.

What sets Keymote apart is its built-in Keymote "store" where you can download keysets from other users to use with your favorite iPad apps. The interface is really nice and for users who really like to have key commands and shortcuts at their fingertips, Keymote is great.

Control Mac with iPad: Snatch

Snatch is a $3.99 remote control app that is extremely similar to both HippoRemote and Keymote. You can control your Mac or PC (and Snatch supports all the way back to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger).

It has a multi-touch trackpad, a keyboard and a remote control editor. You can edit and design the layout of your remote control, adding buttons to specific functions. You can also create a "dock" of sorts for the applications that you like to frequently access.
