Use Keynote Remote for iPhone to control Keynote on iPad

By Dave Caolo

Here's a very welcome change to Keynote on iOS. The latest update lets you use the Keynote Remote app for iPhone as a remote for Keynote presentations on the iPad.

Reader Andreas sent us a video of the two apps in action (which you can see below). Setup is simple; first launch the slideshow on the iPad and then the remote app on your iPhone. Add the iPad as a source and you're off!

Of course, it's been possible to sit or stand next to an iPad running a slideshow and flip through it with your fingers. But many people like to get up and move around while they speak, and now the iPhone offers a way to do that. Good work, Apple!

Thanks, Andreas.
