I love this app and I use it all the time, but what I think would be
really useful is a feature where you can use the ipod touch/iphone as
a wireless mouse. In other words, make the user capable of moving the
cursor just by moving the device up, down or in either direction on a
flat surface, just like a regular mouse. I know that I would use this
feature a lot, and I think other people without wireless mice would as
well.

If you're talking about using the iphone on a flat, horizontal
surface, and moving the touch/iphone in any combination of the four
cardinal direction, I don't see how that'd be possible given the
hardware these devices are limited to ===> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iphone#Hardware.

You'd need to have some sort of sensor like a mouse has (i.e. a laser-
photoreceptor setup).

I'd say your best luck is with the accelerometer setting built into
RemotePad :)
