IOSPIRIT GmbH has announced the availability of preview 4 of version 1.0 of its application for remote controls for Mac OS X. Remote Buddy enables users to fully control a Mac via its included Apple Remote (or any other supported remote). The new, built-in Behaviour Construction Kit now allows the creation of Behaviours without requiring programming skills. A video on the Remote Buddy Web site shows — using CoverFlow as an example — how to make an application remote control ready within less than five minutes. Also supported by default are Acrobat Pro, CoverFlow, Quinn, GarageBand, NetNewsWire, MPlayer OSX and Exposé. In addition, the menu navigation has been made more intuitive and two new button combinations for the Apple Remote have been introduced. Remote Buddy 1.0 Preview 4 requires Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later as a Universal Binary at an introductory price of €9,99.
