Apple Remote is a wonderful app.
Every startup and entrepreneur I know has it. It’s so simple and easy to use and it makes you look cool and it makes you feel good about being in control of your pitch deck or your Apple TV or whatever else you use it for. You should have that one for sure. (It’s free)
One of my favorite apps in the world is: Things. It’s an extremely focused task managing app. Oh, I love it. Without all the confusing, frustrating, and time-consuming mess that usually comes along with this type of app, with Things, you can get so much done without getting lost in the process or forgetting how it works when you return to it a day or a week later. It looks cool so you get the feeling somebody actually cares about how it works and that it operates correctly and is stable. IdeaBang scale: 10.
The best note taking app for iPad is still: Notebooks. Yeah, yeah Penultimate is awesome, but you know what? I want to type my notes. My handwritten notes look like a Dentist wrote them with his feet. I know Penultimate has typing too, but it’s too much to deal with when I want something to look good and look professional when I’m in a meeting with someone and I’m taking notes. All the pinching and moving bothers me too when I’m trying to focus on something important. IdeaBang scale: 10

As the Entrepreneur In Residence at The Nashville Entrepreneur Center, I meet people with great ideas every day. Ideas for toys, medical devices, weapons and apps. And ideas for babies, sports, travel and pets. Most are truly great. Getting that great idea protected, prototyped and licensed or sold and into an analog or digital store is the goal. To do that you need to pitch that idea to licensees, Venture Capitalists and/or Angel Investors. Helping you learn to do that is the focus of the IdeaBang Blog.

Apple Remote and Keynote Remote two different apps.
I completely agree about typing notes. I type my notes directly into Evernote. I wish I could type or draw in the same note.
Oh my God you’re right Jackson. As a matter if fact YOU are the reason Chris Blanz and I use our iPhones as remotes for pitches; you do such an impressive job with yours. I wish you would come to the EC and show the startups your pitch like you did last year. It was great. I’m so used to using thos remotes i guess they’ve run together as “one” in my mind. Thanks for that.
