At the ADC Developer Pavilion, Alf Watt of IMEEM points his Apple Remote at his iMac from ten feet away and scans a list of videos. IMEEM has a website that allows users to share videos, music, and photos, but Alf is most proud of the client application they’ve written for Mac OS X. Using a WebKit view with lots of custom Objective-C code allows IMEEM to take over the full screen and to respond to input from the Apple Remote or from a mouse.

Watt says that Mac OS X is special, because he couldn’t have produced this application so quickly or so well on any other platform. And since IMEEM is built on a lot of open source code, Alf is being a good citizen and contributing much of his code back to the community, including a Flash stream decoder.
