If you have a computer (which is obvious as long as you're reading this) and if you also have a mobile phone, then we have a new gadget for you from the Japanese company Quixun.

Quixun launched the Iipii Beam Station, which is a small USB device that processes the infrared (IR) signals from your mobile phone
and, using a special software application that must be installed on your phone, gives you the chance to control your computer.

So you can control your PC by using only the phone's keypad like moving the mouse cursor, typing a text document, changing to the next song or video, or control the web browser. The possibilities are endless.

Although this idea seems pretty interesting, only Windows users will have the chance to play with this gadget because Mac and Linux are not yet supported.

You can get Quixun's Iipii Beam Station for about US$16, and enjoy using your mobile phone as a mouse.
