PhoneFinger is a free, OS X app that turns your mouse cursor into a realistic-looking human hand. “Why would I ever want such a thing?” you say. For recording demos of your iPhone app running in the iPhone Simulator, of course! There’s a great example video of PhoneFinger in action on the Ambrosia Software website.
