|  C16 virtual keyboard for iPad
Hello,
I wrote an app for Apple iPad that displays a Commodore 16 (and C64 and VIC20) virtual keyboard and sends keystrokes to a Windows PC running VICE (and a server utility I wrote).
See some screenshots here:

I know that probably xplus4.exe is not the most used plus4/C16 emulator, I will fix support for yape and possibly other emulators in some future version.

Looks neat! No Plus/4? Our beloved machine has such a nice, recognizable look.

I would like to add many other features, such as the plus/4 keyboard layout as you point out, but to be quick on the first release I decided to go only for the breadbins.

Here... can I ask. Did you have to tell them about the server, or did you just submit the app on it's own? We were thinking of doing a remote joystick for Game Maker, but weren't sure they would allow it...

There are dozens of remote control apps (mice, keybords, gamepads, etc.), some use known protocols (such as the protocol of the VNC viewers) and others use their own protocol and remote utility, like my app.
I mentioned the need to install a remote utility in the description of the app and I got no complaints from the Apple store reviewer.
