RemoteTap 4 is a “Mac Style” remote desktop management solution for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It introduces several first and only features for any VNC-like application.

via Remote Tap

With Remote Tap you can control your Mac from anywhere in your house or office. I use it to monitor downloads, check for files on my desktop, as well as shut my computer down from the comfort of my living room. It is easy to set-up and quite affordable when compared to other remote desktop applications in the App Store.

*Update: I learned about this app from @mamante‘s post on “VNC and the Mac” at the Apple Learning Interchange.

Shape Builder

“Shape Builder educates and entertains your little one with easy to move shapes that snap into place on top of siloutte puzzles. Each puzzle has 5 to 10 pieces and after positioning all of the pieces, the real image is revealed along with a professional voice recording of the word spoken by Jill Dews, a licensed speech therapist. Shape Builder encourages cognitive thinking and fine motor skills plus exposes young minds to new music instruments, animals, produce, objects and the alphabet in a fun and engaging format with LOTS of sound effects!”
