Yes, you read the title right! You can now use your Android phone as a mouse and keyboard.

RemoteDroid turns your phone into a wireless keyboard and mouse with touchpad, using your own wireless network.

It is a free app for devices running the Android OS i.e Nexus One, Droid, HCT Hero etc. Next time, your keyboard or mouse stops working in the middle of some important work, you won’t have to rush out to get a new one!

Here’s a video of RemoteDroid running on the HTC Hero:
