It seems as though there are very few bluetooth powerpoint clickers out there. The most popular one by Logitech apparently does not work with Apple's built-in bluetooth?

Does anyone know if any products on the market that work with OSX?

Sure it does, although I can't remember if the reverse button actually worked with PowerPoint. Sold mine last year or so.

I prefer using a BT cell phone now to control PowerPoint. Check out Salling Clicker or Romeo.

I would also recommend a bluetooth phone and the Salling Clicker software. This is much more productive than a dedicated bluetooth clicker, since the Salling Clicker software will actually transmit the powerpoint slide notes to the phone display. This allows you to keep see your "talking points" by simply glancing down at the phone in your hand.

You don't need a cell service for this to work. Just pickup a used bluetooth phone from ebay that is compatible with Salling Clicker and you're in business. Or, if like me, your existing cell phone provider sells Bluetooth phones then you can just use that.

my Sony Ericsson K700i worked out of the box as a BT presenter device. no need for other software unless you need more control.

My K700i also worked out of the box. If you go to the Salling website there are some free extra modules available to make up for the full Salling Clicker app not yet working with the K700i phone.

Salling's Remote Basics

Great contribution Jonas

Just bought Salling Clicker to use with my G5, PBG4 and SonyEricsson T637.

Very, very cool app. Definitely worth the price. And impresses the hell out of my PC-using friends!
