You know, I know that a classroom setting is not exactly on the list of uber-important things for you bread-making 3-piece swivel monkeys, but it's actually nifty to use if you're putting on a presentation for a course, or if you're a student in college doing a research presentation.
Interesting, however I have yet to see a single "corporate drone" using Keynote. Actually, I am not certain I have seen anyone using Keynote besides when I have played with it on my MacBook. Still, if the suits were waiting to use a Mac for a presentation because they needed an iPhone remote control, they have officially lost that excuse.
@Monty: Actually I use keynote at our company meetings, as I'm the one who throws those together. Since I'm a mac guy it works way better than powerpoint, and infrared (line of site) remotes suck in most environments. I will almost definitely end up using this.
@lpranal and the magic holiday taco dip: We use RF remotes for presentations, which is similar to this anyway. Agreed -- infrared does not work, but I have not seen an infrared remote being used for a presentation since the turn of the millennium.
@Kaiser-Machead: if you ever have to give a presentation with the display behind you, you'll appreciate this. Being able to control it remotely and walk around while still being able to see your notes and view which slide you're on is pretty nice. And if you've already got a Mac (which I assume you do) and you give a lot of presentations, I imagine you'd find it worth $1.
@OMG! Ponies!: Decided one evening to try out this Domino's internet thing, since it was pretty cold and I wasn't feeling too well to trek out to the awesome little pizza place down the street. Domino's has this internet pizza tracker thing that lets you see the progress...
@Kaiser-Machead: I was desperate for pizza and ordered internet pizza from Domino's once. The Domino's is 3 blocks away. It took 90 minutes to get the pizza.
And then the guy complained that I didn't give him a tip.

Sigh, had I known my senior design project a decade ago would be worth $.99 a pop...
Useful, sure. But, color me unimpressed.

Or are you and Jim Goldman having a cuddle party?

2 hours later the pizza arrived cold.
