Using the Qmote

After spending a couple minutes going through the documentation and setting up the app, I managed to get the Qmote up and running (set up was a breeze, it probably took more time to download the app ).

Basically, you can assign functions to specific button presses on the Qmote. Some of the options include:

So what am I using the Qmote for? Well I have it setup to do the following so far:

1. Set my phone to silent mode;
2. Set my phone to ringer mode;
3. Snooze on my alarm;
4. Ring my phone so that I can find it; and
5. Controlling the camera shutter

As time goes by, I will probably find more uses for it.

Is the Qmote essential? Not really, but it does open up so many new ways to interact with your phone. I suspect that it will probably be hard for me to stop using it after a couple weeks.
