REMOTE CONTROL APPLICATION FOR THE iPHONE (AirRemote)

Steve Moore has developed what is termed as a low cost solution for those wishing to use their iPhone as a remote control. The AirRemote iPhone application is capable of controlling your TV, associated AV equipments and can be used to take control of your entire home.

The heart of the system is a low-cost communications box from Global Cache, which takes IP commands from the iPhone and converts them to infrared, serial or contact-closure for controlling everything from a home theater system to lighting controls to motorized blinds.

The AirRemote application is expected to retail for about $99 (from the iTunes Application store after July 11).
