Hi Alicia, I had to search the archives to see what we had already suggested for you previously. Presenter for Keynote and PowerPoint "The iPhone Keynote remote app to advance your slides. That solution is all ready for those who need it. Presenter works well if your Wifi connection is stable

Cold mouse update

Update - Thanks for the replies.  I use my trackpad as it's the easier than plugging in a separate mouse when I'm out presenting.  I have't tried a USB mouse though, so I will give that a go.    I also got a suggestion on twitter to switch to using an iphone app as my slide clicker instead of the l
