Remote Palette Uses iPhone to Pick Colors for iPad Paintings



Remote Palette is a very neat iApp for painting pictures. The twist, which will excite anyone who has ever painted real pictures with real paint, is that the app hooks together an iPad and an iPhone (or iPod Touch). The iPad is the canvas, and the iPhone is the palette.
The app is universal, so one $0.99 download works for both devices. On launch, you pair the iPad and iPhone via Bluetooth and you?re off. Swipe between pages on the iPhone to choose your colors, and splodge the paint onto the iPad?s canvas. The experience is incredibly intuitive. Somehow it really feels like you?re transferring real paint with your finger.
If you?re expecting a full-featured painting app like Brushes or Sketchbook Pro, you?re going to be disappointed. You?re limited to the pre-defined colors and just four brushes, which vary in thickness but not texture or transparency. The app is probably great for kids, though, and even has a few coloring-book style outlines that can be used.
This should be added to Brushes ASAP. I love that app, but with a color picker on a separate screen, and maybe pinching to adjust brush sizes, it would be killer. Pretty please, Steve Sprang, add this to your app.
