I was using this to remotely run keynote on my macmini, from my ipad, in settings without a local wifi network. I was able to broadcast a local hotspot from my mini, and then connect with Pointer.
The onscreen "laser pointer" and pencil-sketching on the slides was very useful for leading students to the appropriate parts of the diagrams, etc..
It would be great if this app would also provide for remote control of keynote on iPad... Using an iPhone or second iPad...
