About LinkBacksHere is an app developed that allows you to control your computer using your iPhone as the trackpad. You will need to install a VNC program in order for it to run.
Installation instructions:Video of Touchpad in action:
- Start Installer.app, and go to Sources. Click "Edit", and then Add this repository: http://cnp.qlnk.net/
- After the refresh, install Touchpad from the Utilities category.
- Install VNC on the machine you want to control. I recommend TightVNC for Windows and Linux and Chicken of the VNC for Mac.

Re: Touchpad for the iPhone If you're on a Mac, you just need to check 'VNC viewers may control screen with password' in System Preferences > Sharing > Remote Management > Computer Settings. This is on Leopard but Tiger has a similar feature. It's the built-in VNC server of OS X.
