After purchasing Keynote Remote from the iTunes store a couple of months back I was disappointed that it only worked over WIFI (why do we have bluetooth in the iPhone again?). Most conferences have spotty WIFI at best.
I had an idea today though about using my computer’s built-in network creating ability. I set up a network from my laptop, connected to it from my iPhone, and had the Keynote Remote working in no time. No WIFI network. Yay! After I had figured it out I looked up on google to see if anyone else had done it and found they had. There’s a tutorial with screenshots here: http://www.italkmagazine.com/using-apple-keynote-remote-without-wifi/....

All credit goes to Tyler for this trick, but I'm sure I would have thought of it too. :)
Tyler has been working on an XML specification, what he things Adobe should have done in place of FXG which is a standard that was built around implementation with Flex. During this process he has also done tests from time to time to see how it might actually pan out using Flex builder, and we're pretty confident it could all be done there. One of the issues is this new standard should support shortcuts. An example in the XML is:
<group>
<layout padding="10px 10px 10px 50%"/>
</group>
<group...
