Young developer Nam Chu Hoai, an ex-jailbreak developer, is currently working on a universal remote app called Nam's Remote. The idea behind the app is to support as many applications on both the PC and Mac as possible. He currently has it working as a game controller, virtual trackpad, and VLC and Front Row remote to name a few.

The app is still in development and Nam is taking requests to support your favorite apps! If you'd like an app supported, drop him a line at <a href="http://www.nambrot.com/" target="_blank">nambrot.com</a>.

Some may remember Nam from his work on <a href="http://nambrot.com/index.php/home/33-mapsoffline/46-presenting-maps-offline" target="_blank">Maps Offline</a> back in the 1.x days. The app provided a way to manage the size of Maps' cache for offline browsing.</div>

Send him a note and I'm sure he'll try to add support!
