Hello all,
I've read a number of threads that dance around this topic/question but none that answer it.
Is there an App that will enable an Android smart phone to remotely control/advance a Powerpoint Presentation on an iPad via Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth?
...without jailbreaking the iPad?
FYI: I've come across a thread post offering this solution (enterpriseios website) but don't know if it'll work and would prefer not to try.
"If you jailbreak the device you are trying to control, yes. There is an app in Cydia called Veency that is a VNC server for iOS. You can then use Screen Sharing on the Mac, or one of the many free VNC clients (such as UltraVNC or TightVNC) on a Windows machine to view and control the target iOS device. You can even view/control the iOS device FROM another iOS device with a remote desktop app like Jump."

I know how to control your iPads media with your android device :
Developed by BOJA, iRemote iTunes WMP is an app that allows you to control your iTunes library using an Android smartphone. It works over both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and we found it to be the simplest and easiest to set up among the handful of apps available.
To get started, you will need to install the Android app on your phone along with a server app which you have to install on your Windows-based PC. Once the server is running on your computer, open up iRemote on your Android device to get started.
iRemote is a free WiFi and Bluetooth remote for iTunes and Windows Media Player WMP on Windows (XP,Vista,Win7)
Remote control iTunes and WMP on your Windows desktop, laptop, notbok or tablet. Plug in Apple AirPort Express to any speaker in the house and get the ultimate iTunes remote control sound system.
Enjoy the gourgouse [sic] UI and rich feature set of this inovating [sic] remote control. iRemote iTunes and WMP is the only dedicated iTunes and WMP remote control supporting both WiFi and Bluetooth connections.
No user settings required! Simple out of the box support connecting over WiFi and Bluetooth.
We have tested the app on our Samsung Galaxy S II unit and can confirm that it works as advertised. While it does do what it says, it looks spectacularly ugly in the process. I’m not saying this because I’m some sort of UI snob, but I do appreciate a user-interface which, at least, doesn’t make you look away in disgust.
Another issue we had with the app is how much of a dent it makes on the battery. In our limited testing (which didn’t last more than an hour), we found our phone’s battery going down faster than usual. Opening up Settings > About > Battery usage proved our suspicions to be true:
Still, it is certainly worth a try if you’re in the market for a remote app for your iTunes library. We couldn’t find a better alternative, but if you know of one, please let us know! We’d love to cover it!
There are two versions available: the Free one comes with ads, does not allow you to search your library for that one song and it also does not allow users to play a song by browsing artists or albums. The paid version, which costs $3.00, obviously lifts these limitations.
Clarification?
Problem. I don't think this answers my Q.
I'm looking for an APP to remote control "media" on an iPad (iOS) with an Android ...not iTunes media on a windows based PC.

I have an HTPC in my living room, I use Windows Media Center to watch and record TV and XBMC to watch movies and tv shows. I have been using a mouse and keyboard as my way to control everything, then i recently started using my phone, with all the apps out there to control different software i found this preferable, and i just ordered a used nexus 7 off ebay that I'll be using as my main media center remote.
Does anyone else do this? Post pictures of your home screens with widget layouts along with what apps and services you are using. Once i get my nexus 7 i will update and post mine.
the 3 main apps i am using right now on my phone are:
Yatse - very nice looking and customizable XBMC control app.
My Media Center - An app put out by Ceton (i have an infinitv made by Ceton in my HTPC to watch cable tv) to control windows media center, I have found it to be the most featured and best looking Media Center remote.
Unified Remote - great app that has remotes for tons of different windows programs, also a standard mouse and keyboard input is available on it. the paid version allows you to create your own widgets with any of the remotes it offers, very useful.

Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing but i have a questions.
1. should i need a smart tv? - our tv is just plain LCD.
2. should i need a high end phone? - got samsungxcover2.
Sorry for a noodQ.
I tried a lot of remote control apps before but it didnt work for me.
Do these Android TV boxes from China run an Android TV version of Android?
I was wondering if I would be able to cast from a PC (Chrome browser + cast plugin) to one of these boxes as a receiver. If not, I'm contemplating just getting a Chromecast, but these boxes offer so much more functionality.
PS. What requirements do devices need to have to qualify as a receiver for casting?
Thanks in advance
