One of the most impressive features of Gum Under The Seat is its flexibility. Since the graphical user interface presents lists, the software can potentially control anything that can be presented in this format. Currently, Gum Under The Seat has modules for videos, iTunes, EyeTV channels, EyeTV recordings, Vonage dialer for Address Book entries, and Scripts directory.
There are numerous ideas for further modules, such as iChat buddies list with Video or audio invite, X10 control, and Web bookmarks. Perhaps the beauty of Gum Under The Seat is that it can serve as a launching pad for numerous potentials.
To enjoy the full benefits of Gum Under The Seat, you need NicePlayer to play videos or VIDEO_TS directories and the Xine Plugin for NicePlayer to play files that Quicktime doesn't understand.
It is worth noting that for a seamless TV viewing experience, you'll need to invest in an EyeTV. Similarly, you would require a KeySpan Express Remote or similar gadget for using a remote. If you want to dial the phone from your address book, a Vonage account would come in handy.
In conclusion, Gum Under The Seat is an incredible menuing system that makes it simpler to control numerous Mac features. Its flexibility makes it a great addition to any Mac user's toolbox.
