Advantages:
- control your computer from your couch
- when your screen output is being recorded on presentations, the laser pointer can also be recorded
- the digital laser pointer point is better visible in bright rooms
- you can simultaneously flip the slides back and forth on your Android device and control the mouse
- you can use the app as barcode/QR code scanner for your computer

Link to download the server is dead, so you cannot make it work. The link to RemotePointer-Server jar redirects to the main website. You can download the client (this app), but not the server. Without the server this app is pretty much useless. Go to your link, click "Download PC-Application", what happens? Redirects to georg-sieber.de

Works great as a remote touchpad. Also has keyboard support as an IAP. Maybe a TV mode could be added where the gyroscopic pointer would also move the mouse?
